Do you need to rent a car in Langkawi?

The temptation in Langkawi is to spend all day under a coconut palm on the pristine white powder beaches but there’s so much more to see by hiring a car and looking for the local culture.

First stop should be the Laman Padi Rice Garden where you’ll see rice being cultivated on terraces and be able to find out about the history of the staple in the attached museum. If you climb Gunung Raya, a 2,500ft mountain and the tallest in the area, you’ll have a spectacular view out over the jungles and the islands of the archipelago.
