Mahsuri, A Legend Story of Langkawi...

On our tour of Langkawi, we learnt of the legendary but tragic tale of the princess Mahsuri who placed a curse on the island for seven generations.

Her memorial and final resting place is an amazing place to visit. Wanna know our journey?? Let’s follow this story!


Location

Kota Mahsuri located in Jalan Makam Mahsuri, not too far from the central city of Langkawi. It just takes around 20 minutes. Where is it? Let's look up the map below!!

Visiting Rice Garden...Nice!!

Laman Padi is the place to go if you want to experience the traditional ways of rice cultivation.  Also called Rice Garden Museum, the 14.28 acre park was conceptualized to promote eco-tourism in a  natural setting. Visitors will have the opportunity to appreciate the serene greenness of the 8.6 acre paddy field within the compound.

Their journey.....

It becomes our new experience for having some talks with the farmers, seeing the process of paddy cultivation. Khuder, one of our friend from Mongolia, becomes very excited to see the rice garden :)










Also Ilshat, a friend from Uzbekistan ....even he doesn't eat rice :)

We just very enjoy this trip!!!

Hey, It’s Langkawi!

Wow! Beautiful. That's the first impression that comes when we arrive on Langkawi Island. You must visit this island, guys!. The trip to Langkawi would be written in a few posts. You can follow it. Maybe our story can be a reference for you during a trip to Langkawi. Enjoy!!!


Langkawi isn’t just one big island, but a collection of around 100 islands that form an archipelago. While most are uninhabited, a few have been designated for tourism so that visitors from all over the world can admire and appreciate the magical beauty of Langkawi. There are many island tours available from operators to get you started. Note that most tours do not operate during the monsoon season from July to mid-September as the seas become choppy and potentially dangerous. 

Langkawi’s name is believed to have originated from the abundance of eagles on the island and the geological wonder of its landscape. By putting together ‘helang’ (eagle in Malay) and ‘kawi’ (marble in Sanskrit), you get the moniker ‘helang-kawi’ which was eventually toned down to Langkawi.

Well, here are our journey!! We call it LANGKAWI ISLAND TOUR!!! Yiaaaaayyyyy...
