Lake Of Pregnant Maiden

Unclaimed

This is a forest park. It takes about 35 minutes by boat from the pick-up point. There are various subtropical plants and an artificial freshwater lake called Pregnant Lake. You can enjoy the natural scenery here, as well as swim and row a boat. There are restaurants and toilets, but be aware that there will be monkeys around you. Can you tell which one looks like a pregnant woman in these pictures?

Very serene and you can only hear the sounds of nature, far from civilization and cities. If you go on weekdays, there are not many tourists and you can actually feel relaxed to just walk, sit and just enjoy.

The Lake of the Pregnant Maiden, or Tasik Dayang Bunting, is a captivating freshwater lake nestled on Dayang Bunting Island, the second-largest island in Malaysia’s Langkawi archipelago. Renowned for its serene beauty and rich folklore, the lake is a highlight of many island-hopping tours in the region.  ? Natural Beauty & Activities Encircled by lush rainforests and dramatic limestone hills, the lake offers a tranquil setting for various activities. Visitors can swim in its refreshing waters, rent paddle boats or kayaks, and explore the surrounding mangroves. A wooden boardwalk meanders through the area, providing scenic views and photo opportunities.  ? Cultural Significance The lake derives its name from a local legend about a celestial princess, Mambang Sari, who laid her deceased child to rest in the lake. Grieving, she blessed the waters to aid infertile women, a belief that continues to attract hopeful visitors.   ? Access & Tips • Getting There: Accessible via a 15-minute boat ride from Kuah Jetty.  • Safety: The lake has an average depth of 10 meters with no shallow areas; life jackets are recommended, especially for children and non-swimmers.  • Wildlife: Be cautious of monkeys near the entrance; they are known to snatch unattended belongings.  Whether you’re drawn by its natural allure or the enchanting legend, the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden offers a unique and memorable experience in Langkawi.

Lovely serene freshwater lake in the middle of the the Dayang Bunting Island. A small portion of the lake has been cordoned off for swimming. The lake is a 10-15mins walk from the main shore where the boat stops. The walk is steep in places. The entrance to the lake is paid which we were not aware of. But the experience is worth it. In the day time when the sun is shining bright the floating boardwalk next to the lake gets too hot and it gets difficult to stand with feet burning. Need to get into the lake quickly. Life jackets are free.
