Seven Wells Waterfall langkawi - Telaga Tujuh

("telaga" = wells,
"tujuh" = seven)

This waterfall, situated near to Telaga Harbour is considered by many to be the most beautiful waterfall on Langkawi & has one of the legends of Langkawi associated with it. It is said that the wells, or pools at the very top of the falls are where Fairies come to bathe.

Approaching from Pantai Kok you find a small car park which has a RM2 charge for cars & RM1 for bikes, there are also a number of small shops selling drinks, clothing & food.

From here you can either take the steps on the right hand side of the shops or walk up the very steep incline of the service road to get to the steps that will take you down to the base of the waterfall itself, where the pools provide welcome relief for tired feet & kids love to splash about.

For the more intrepid, you can take the 638 steps through the rain forest to the top of the waterfall & will be rewarded by the beautiful views across to Burau Bay & Pantai Kok.

This climb is fairly tiring so you may need to make use of the rest areas provided & just relax & listen to the sounds of the forest while you catch your breath. Once at the top the seven wells become apparent & you may even wish to bathe there yourself & use the natural rock slides which are suitable for kids of all ages.
