ULU MELAKA, kampung or village life in Langkawi is a traditional of friendliness and warmth in a harmonious community. The bustling developments in the main towns are light years away from the peaceful, laid-back, mellow atmosphere of the small villages.

Babies quietly doze in their tiny hammocks, whilst carpenters, fishermen and paddy-farmers go about their daily routine in a relaxed manner. Pretty wooden houses line the paths along Ulu Melaka and the visitor will find the unhurried attitude of the villagers a relief from the dizzying crowds of a city.

Take in the picturesque scenes of life in a village, or take a stroll around the rubber plantations. Watch the buffaloes splash in the water of the paddy fields oblivious to the industry of the farmers. You may observe the daily habits of fishermen mending their nets and taking their trawlers out to sea at Bukit Malut.
