The story of Kilim Geoforest Park

Kilim Karst Geoforest Park covers about 100 square kilometres of mangrove rivers and limestone hills in northeast Langkawi. It is part of the Langkawi UNESCO Global Geopark, the first geopark in Southeast Asia.

Boats wind through the mangroves to a bat cave, a floating fish farm and open water where brahminy kites and white-bellied sea eagles swoop down. You may also see macaques, monitor lizards and otters.
