Temurun Waterfall, Langkawi

Temurun Waterfall, LangkawiTemurun Waterfall, Langkawi (5 June, 2005)


Temurun Waterfall (GPS: 6.43398, 99.70823) is a 50-meter fall that cascades down the northern slope of Gunung Machincang, into Datai Bay. Located close by on the same road is the artificial Langkawi Waterfall.

To reach the Temurun Waterfall, one has to make a short trip into the verdant jungle. There are forest sheds for you to stop and rest, though the journey from the parking area isn't that far. As you approach Temurun Waterfall, you can see it behind tall forest trees. The waterfall comes down a steep cliff on the side of Gunung Machincang. At the foot of the cliff is a lovely emerald pool. At the time of my visit, the amount of water was not that much. There is a stream that runs from the pool, but it was almost devoid of any water. I suppose it would be a different picture during raining season.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
