Langkawi is not only about honeymoon but also a lot of other things...

An archipelago of 99 magical islets in the Andaman sea, Langkawi is an idyllic hideaway filled with nature's wonders. Over the years, this natural paradise has established its presence as one of the foremost honeymoon destinations in South-East Asia. Though enjoying the beautiful sunset and admiring nature to the fullest in a resort along with your loved one is indeed special, there are also other interesting things that form a part of this place with breathtaking landscapes.

If you are an agro-tourism lover or like nature's green color surrounding you, then watching paddy cultivation is an interesting offshoot to emerge from that line of thought.The Laman Padi (Rice Museum) showcases the history and development of the nation's rice industry. You can try your hand in paddy cultivation and also eat in an in-house cafe which serves local delicacies using rice as the main ingredient.Souvenir shopping is possible for art and craft lovers at Langkawi Craft Complex. It is famous tourist complex that has exhibits on traditional Malaysian handicrafts. The various ethnic groups of Malaysia are represented in unique forms through artifacts. You can also try different craft techniques like batik painting or wood carving in the craft interactive area in the complex.

No trip is considered complete without some form of ride - either a long drive or on a horseback or a cable car. Langkawi offers an unique ride on the water buffalo in the Buffalo park. This idea was triggered as a part of modernization of systematic livestock in the place. Visitors get a chance to milk the buffaloes and feed them. They can also see the processing of milk into yogurt and cheese. Good cheese can be bought from this place.

As the night descends, you can also go on a fishing tour of a different kind. Unlike the normal hook and pull method, the squid can be scooped from the waters using fishing nets and this method is called as squid scooping. The spot light on the boat is used to attract the fish in large numbers.This can be done in open or hidden waters as per your choice. This activity would be a thrill to travelers who like the live bait catching experience.

Langkawi is abuzz with activity through the night in the form of daily night markets which are held in different parts of the town as per a schedule. Street vendors peddling their wares, food stalls serving piping hot noodles, different toys being sold for children form a colorful sight in the night. Exotic fruits and vegetables of the region can be found in this market.



It is said that 'beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder' and we at Flitterbot have tried to provide a unique dimension to this spectacle called Langkawi. Look no further, if you wish to go here as we are just a click away...
