Description
Durian Perangin Waterfall, nestled on the northeastern side of Langkawi, named after the durian trees that thrive in the nearby forests and the cooling breeze. This multi-tiered waterfall cascades down the slopes of Gunung Raya, Langkawi’s highest peak, forming freshwater pools at each tier. Surrounded by dense forest and fascinating rock formations, the area is a serene retreat for nature lovers. The cool, refreshing waters make it a favorite spot for locals seeking picnics or a quiet escape.
The hike to the waterfall’s crest is challenging but achievable, rewarding climbers with stunning views of the valley and coastline. For experienced trekkers, the peak of Gunung Raya lies just 5 km away. The park is well-maintained, featuring bridges over streams, gazebos for picnics, and resting spots along the trail. Facilities at the base include a carpark, toilets, food stalls, and souvenir shops. The best time to visit is during the rainy season (September–October), when the waterfall is at its most vibrant. However, even during drier months, the tranquil pools offer a refreshing retreat amidst the tropical surroundings.
