KILIM GEOFOREST PARK

Also known as the Kilim Karst Geoforest Park, this 100 square kilometer area in Langkawi is a nature reserve and a collection of geo-sites full of amazing flora & fauna, and stunning geological formations like mammoth limestone rocks, fossils, caves, lagoons, beaches and seascapes. The whole area is administered and protected by the Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department. It is part of the larger Langkawi Geopark and one of the biggest hot spots of Eco tourism in the entire region. 

In about 10 minutes you will reach the Floating Fish Farm. Here you can hand feed a stingray or even the shooting archer fishes that jump a long way out of the water to take away the bread piece from your fingers. 

And then you will be taken to a calm water area surrounded by high rocks and forest where you will see a grand spectacle - Eagle Feeding. The boatman stops the engine and the guide throws some chicken skin pieces into the water. In no time the eagles start swooping in from the sky, grab the food and take off. 

Next you will be taken to the Fossil Island, also known as Pulau Anak Tikus (Pulau in Malay means island). The boat is tied to a small jetty built to access the tiny island. After you climb up the narrow stairs, the guide will show you several fossils on the rocks some of which are 480 million years old. You will walk on a narrow concrete footbridge that takes you to the other side of the island where there is another staircase to get down to the water. The boat meanwhile circles around and moors at this end of the island. This is where we spotted a white bellied sea eagle flying at a distance over the water. 

The final stop is at the Bat Cave. which is located quite close to the Kilim Jetty. Other than awesome sight of large colonies of bats hanging from the ceiling and flying all over your head, Bat Cave showcases stunning formations of limestone. In one such formation, the stalactites and stalagmites have joined to form a single column. There are also many plants in the area that are centuries old and one of them is called "Living Fossil".
