Telaga
Tujuh
Located
in the north-western corner of Pulau Langkawi, Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells)
is a geological marvel.Splashing as a cascade onto the granite rocks below,
this fresh water stream forms a series of seven natural pools and is hence
called "Telaga Tujuh". These pools, or so-called wells, are excellent universal
examples of disolution features in granite called" rock chimneys".
The lush green forest that surrounds the waterfall
adds a mystical touch to the natural splendour. Legend has it that fairies
used to come down to the waterfall to bathe and frolic.
After the bath they are said to leave behind their
bathing paraphanalia in the form of sintok roots and limau purut.
Those who are fortunate may stumble on these items
which when used to wash hair will rinse away bad luck.
Note: Visitors to this magnificent waterfall
are advised
to be cautious here as it has a sudden drop of over 91 meters.
