Langkawi [Kilim Geoforest Park]

 

Interesting place which can pay a visit @ Langkawi

 

Kilim Geoforest Park

 

Kilim Karst Geoforest Park is one of the 3 park with World Geopark status given by UNESO in June 2007 which makes it one of the most popular tourist area in Langkawi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The geopark locates just at the Kilim River

This area actually consists of three river estuaries that stretch from the Kisap village approximately 10 km to Tanjung Rhu and they are all interconnected. They are rich in wildlife and tourists may see hairy nosed sea otters, brown winged kingfishers, monitor lizards and swimming macaque monkeys. Limestone, inherently porous, forms caves and there are several in the mangroves. One of Langkawi's natural beauty spots is the Pirate Lagoon just outside the river which it is a collapsed cave consisting of a cave entrance from the sea emerging into a hidden lagoon with towering, limestone escarpments and smaller caves.

While enter you will see lots of mangrove tree by the side ....
