Bird Watching at Langkawi, Malaysia

Thinking of going for Bird Watching? You may consider Langkawi as your destination choice for Bird Watching. In Langkawi, there are two choices if you are interested to go for bird watching. You may choose to go for bird watching in an adventurous way or a more relaxed way…it’s your choice..your decision…whatever it is, both activities promises a wonderful experience…that will last forever…in your memory…trust me…

I haven’t got the opportunity to go for bird watching in an adventurous way…Of course due to some reasons…for example, due to time constraint...whereby every time I go to Langkawi, I only stay for 2-3 days…and there are so many places to visit….especially Kuah, my favourite place to go for shopping…Well, may be in my next visit to Langkawi, I’ll go for bird watching (the adventurous way)…I’m sure there’s so much fun and excitement. You will have the opportunity to feed the eagle, watch the various species of birds available around Langkawi, while enjoying the fresh air and nature….There are many travel packages that offer this bird watching activities. The fees ranges from RM120- RM2500, depends on the activities chosen….There are a half a day trip, day-trip and overnight trip. I’m still searching for the best price…as preparation for my next trip. When? Ermmm…it depends on my work schedules and budget…I’ll upload the picture for you…don’t worry…

But, these pictures (as shown in the blog) were taken from my last visit to Langkawi in 2004. The whole family decided to go to Langkawi by ferry. It was really a great time…And, while the ladies busy spending their money at Kuah, I’ll bring my nieces and nephew for a bird-watching at Langkawi Bird Paradise. It’s my first time visit the bird park. I can see the excitement of my nieces and nephews watching the colorful and beautiful birds of different species.

On more than 10,000 square meters, Langkawi Bird Paradise offers a home to various species of birds. The park is adapted to the birds’ natural habitat. Langkawi Bird Paradise is opened daily from 10 am until 6:00 pm.
For the tourists, you don’t have to worry about the weather…because Langkawi Bird Paradise provides a covered walkway to avoid any inconvenience. The walkway covers jungles, ponds and waterfall background as the natural habitats for the birds. Among the popular species are Hornbill, Eagle, Owl, etc. Sorry…I can’t remember their names….
If you feel thirsty or hungry in the middle of the tour, you may buy snacks or tits-bits….and at the end of the tour, you will be headed to the souveniur shops…Whatever it is, Langkawi Bird Paradise is a well worth place to visit. Don’t miss the opportunity to go there…These are among the shot taken from my visit to the Langkawi Bird Paradise. Enjoy watching…

Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam Agricultural Park…a place to remember….

Thinking of having recreational activities? You might consider Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam Agricultural Park a.k.a Bukit Cherakah, Shah Alam. The park is a vast complex of landscaped floral gardens, agricultural plots, orchards, lakes and dense jungle.

The park is suitable for those who want to experience the life in nature. Tourists can choose whether they wanna have a tour around the park by walking or cycling. This park is full of visitors especially during weekends and public holiday. Many families and friends spend their time together here to relax their mind from the hustle and bustle of the city life, feel the natural environment and share the excitement of adventure in the park.
