Top 10 Nature & Parks in Kedah, Malaysia
Kedah (Malay pronunciation: [kəˈdɑh]; Jawi: قدح), also known by its honorific Darul Aman or "Abode of Peace", is a state of Malaysia, located in the northwestern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The state covers a total area of over 9,000 km², and it consists of the mainland and Langkawi. The mainland has a relatively flat terrain, which is used to grow rice. Langkawi is an archipelago of islands, most of which are uninhabited. Kedah was called Kadaram (Tamil: கடாரம்; kadāram) by ancient and medieval Tamil people and Syburi (Thai: ไทรบุรี; RTGS: Sai Buri) by the Siamese when it was under their influence.

An easy walk designed by our team to observe the wildlife and most importantly to get close to the flora of Lubuk Semilang. The place which has over 100 medicinal plants along the trail will widen your knowledge on how the natives in Langkawi thrive in this island once upon a time ago. Monkeys, hornbills and insects are among a few that you might encounter along the walk with the guide telling

Picked up from our hotel by taxi, we arrived in the Sanctuary's small but modern HQ in the jungle to be met by our guide. Two hours later, our minds were buzzing from the myriad of exquisite butterflies we had seen thanks to his expert help and deep knowledge, as we walked through deep, cicada-buzzing forest, protected by the Sanctuary. Monkeys and rare birdlife added extra spotting thrills. We really felt we were privileged to see such wonders in the wild. Highly recommended.

We booked the day tour with lunch included thru our resort with Dev's Adventure Tours. It was a superbly informative tour which brought us to the Bat Caves, Crocodile Cave, thru the estuaries, where the very experienced Skipper spotted a Swamp Viper resting and well-camouflaged on the low branches of the mangrove tree. We saw loads of long-tailed macaques along the shores and were then given an informative lesson on the different mangrove tree species and the history of Langkawi and the importance of mangroves. We then proceeded to spot Kites and White-Bellied Eagles where we also witnessed their feeding. The guide also explained why there was feeding and how the feeding is controlled in a way that does not render the birds incapable of hunting for their own food. We then looked at the various stone formations as we traversed along the estuary before heading to Tanjong Rhu Beach for a short 20 mins before adjourning for lunch at a floating restaurant. We were also brought on a exciting ride against the waves of the open Andaman Sea on this trip. It was half a day well-spent and a wonderful history cum geography lesson coming alive thru the rich biodiversity we witnessed. It is highly recommended that you take a morning to explore the Kilim Geoforest and I would recommend that you do so with Dev's Adventure Tour.

Amazing views and very good value for money. 55RM per adult for the skycab, 3D art museum (brilliant fun) and sky dome. Only 5RM more to be paid at the top for the skybridge but so worthwhile. Plenty of places to eat and drink at the bottom, great few hours spent here
