the waterfalls of Kedah



Kedah state begins with its eastern boundary demarcated by the Main Range. The steep hills END rather quickly and the terrain changes into lowlands. Then, among the wide lowland plain at one spot beside the sea coast, a massive Gunong Jerai suddenly makes its presence felt. In the sparsely populated highland areas, many river sources are left intact including the 'original' waterfalls
The state is literally littered with waterfalls, only a couple of the larger ones have been developed as well.

The Seven Wells waterfall is named after the seven pools (wells) that can be found at the top of the waterfall. The entrance to the well-kept park is near the famous Cable Car Station. From the car park you follow the road until a signboard where the right trail climbs steeply up to the actual wells. The left trail leads to the fall.

The waterfall is quite impressive, but you have to choose the rainy season, as the water flow is seasonal. September is a good time to visit the Langkawi falls.

Easy to spend hours here!

The waterfall is a popular one and attracts many visitors. When you want to visit the 'wells', you have to climb up a steep, well-maintained trail to the top of the waterfall.

Even in the dry season, the wells will generally have enough water for a bath. Be careful walking to the edge, the rocks can be slippery. It is possible to trek into the jungle.


Nice pools for a quiet bath


Danger! Rocks may be slippery
