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.
