Langkawi Waterfall, Langkawi

Langkawi Falls (5 June, 2005)


Langkawi Waterfall (GPS: 6.43489, 99.70739) is a man-made waterfall located along the road to Datai Bay, just a short distance from Temurun Waterfall. At 66.92 meter, Langkawi Waterfall is the highest manmade waterfall in Malaysia, as certified by the Malaysia Book of Records in 2004.

The Langkawi Waterfall was the brainchild of former prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. It is intended to showcase the lush beauty of Langkawi - although in an island of many waterfalls, adding an artificial one may not seem at all necessary. Grottoes are constructed around the Langkawi Waterfall, which is beautifully landscaped.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
