Beaches
Langkawi
is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km
off the mainland coast of northwestern
Malaysia. The islands are a part of Malaysia's
Kedah
state, but are adjacent to the
Thai border.
Pulau
Langkawi's landscape is painted with marbled mountains, vast
paddy fields and rural villages, miles and miles of white sandy
beaches, secret caves, and pockets of virgin rainforests dating
back millions of years.
Sheltered by
the mountainous backbone of
Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi escapes the northeastern
winter monsoon entirely and enjoys sunny skies in winter when
the eastern provinces are flooded. Coupled with natural white
sand beaches, lush jungle foliage and craggy mountain peaks -
the island was at one time touted as "Malaysia's best-kept
secret".
You will
experience doing yoga with a group of yoga enthusiasts in
natural surroundings. This is a value-for-money retreat with
packed yoga and activities during this 3 days 2 nights program.
One Fitness has been organizing Yoga Retreats for the past 3
years and the responses were overwhelming. Next page shows the
itinerary of the retreat.
One of the
main activities is the cable car ride. Take an exhilarating ride
on the Langkawi Cable Car up the escarpment on Mount Machincang
and over ancient rainforests. Sit back in awe, take in one of
the world’s steepest incline rides at 42° and be enthralled by
the spectacular scenery as it unfolds on this unique L-shaped
route. Langkawi cable Car has the world’s longest free span for
a single rope cable car at 950 metres.
