Durian Perangin Waterfall



"Durian Perangin River's attractive 14-tier waterfall and unique rock formation are the main attractions at this picnic spot next to Gunung Raya."

The main attraction of Durian Perangin river is the attractive 14-tier waterfall that cascades down from the slopes of nearby Gunung Raya. The unique rock formation found around this area makes the place suitable for picnics and relaxing dips in the cool, clear water. Every tier of the waterfall has its own natural attributes which makes these natural pools unique.

The Durian Perangin area houses a wide variety of flora and fauna in the surrounding lowland dipterocarp forest. The main plant species are rengas, merapoh, periang, melunak, meranti temak, meranti jerit, rattans and palms. A 5km track leads to Gunung Raya Peak which, incidentally, is the highest spot in Langkawi. Another 5km of continuous track will take you to nearby Malaysia Book Village in Lubuk Semilang.
