It is such a fascinating place and is the Temurun waterfall on the island of Langkawi .
Natural beauty
Temurun is a three-level waterfall, the total length of which reaches 200 m. It owes its origin to the displacement of tectonic plates, which occurred more than 400 years ago. For all of its existence, Temurun was practically not exposed to human influence. An exception is only a few dams along the flow of water, and a hiking trail to the waterfall itself. Surround it the most that there is a real jungle.
Visiting the falls is exactly the case when the rainy season will come in handy. After all, in the period of high water, Temurun becomes truly fabulous and in some ways even frightening. Streams of water at the base form a cozy lagoon, suitable for swimming.
Separately it is worth mentioning cute monkeys, living near the waterfall. These animals do not carry any danger in themselves, but they can arrange an unpleasant surprise in the form of plundered things. Therefore, it is worth packing all the small things in bags and removing food from the field of view.
