Langkawi

"Let the Life enjoys traveling to Langkawi"


The main island Langkawi is 47. 848 Hectare followed by Pulau Dayang Bunting and Pulau Tuba while some of the others appear to be mere dots in the emerald green ocean when viewed from the air. Langkawi is located just off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia comprises a group of 104 tropical islands during the low tides and 99 Island during the high tides.
Langkawi’s natural environment provides real ecotourism experiences such as nature walks, bird-watching, jungle-trekking and mangrove tours in kayaks or motorized boats without the “gimmicks” activities involve.
Langkawi has recorded 190 species of birds, including brown winged kingfisher, black hooded oriole and mountain hawk eagle. The mountain hawk eagle which can be identified by its very pronounced crest with two feathers can only be found in Langkawi. Kilim River is quite a sight to see dozens of white-bellied sea eagles and brahminy kites circling in the sky and swooping down on their food. But human’s feeding is habituating the eagles when they usually feed on fish. Now they are given chicken guts, and these are from farm-bred chickens fed with antibiotics and hormones, making it unhealthy. It may affect their bone development and the integrity of the shells of their eggs & the contaminated feed could kill a lot of birds, as each feeding attracts between 50 to 100 birds. The relatively small and cut-off habitat of an island like Langkawi allows for many of its flora and fauna to evolve into unique species over thousands of years. But it also possessed a danger of Habitat-fragmentations.
