"The Kilim Karst Geoforest Park in the eastern part of the main Langkawi Island features magnificently formed landscape of nearly vertical to subrounded limestone hills with pinnacles of various shapes and sizes, can be viewed on limestone Setul Formation.

The northeast region of Langkawi, encompassing the three river basins of Kilim, Air Hangat and Kisap and the neighbouring islands of Langgun and Tanjung Dendang are spectacular in its beauty with the geological and landscape resources, the seas, the mudflats, beaches, the wetland mangrove and the unique fauna and flora that have long coexisted in these ecosystems..."

We arrived at the Jetty around 4.30pm. It was the best timing to visit the area, because there will not have many tourists that time and our boat won't attack by those busy waves from other boats (advise from friend).

Seems like the mangrove trees are different from the mangrove at Pulau Kukup, Johor.

During the boat tour, we passed by the Fish Farm area. All this floating farms were powered by TNB! Not generators. Surprised!

And we noticed there were many yachts parking at the river, it's because of the low parking fees...

One of the exit to the open sea, can you see the Langgun Island at the background?
