LANGKAWI ISLAND
Known as “The Jewel of Kedah”, Langkawi is also home to South East Asia’s first Global UNESCO Geopark, over species of birds and butterflies and 99 islands. Besides the main island of Langkawi, Tuba Island, which is the second largest islands, also a home to some 2000 inhabitants and left largely untouched by tourists and local people here.
In order to preserve the natural habitat, there were only few motorised vehicles are allowed on the island. Well, I guess its a good initiative to maintain the eco of this island.

As of April 2016, a 30-kilometer trail that spans Pulau Tuba and the neighboring Pulau Dayang Bunting, will be opened for the public to explore the wonders of these islands. The participants will pass through towering limestone cliffs, mangrove forests, as well as untouched sections of Pulau Dayang Bunting and Pulau Tuba, which are previously only accessed by local inhabitants.

An inaugural 30-kilometer trail run, Tuba Trail Run, will be held on April 2, 2016 to launch the new trail and also to bring Pulau Tuba up as a destination for natural exploration. The fun part is the participants will be treated to a Kenduri (Malay ceremony)-style traditional launch.
However, the participation will be limited to 450 participants as they try to minimise enviromental impact.
