Introduction of PangKor~~~~~~~

The coast of perak State, lies a cluster of fabulous islands with unquestionably some of the best coves and beaches on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia. The cluster of islands we refer to as Pulau Pangkor is made up of one major mountainous island with 3 smaller uninhabited islands. Among them two islands predominate in the terms of accessibility, infrastructure and development, the largest island Pulau PANGKOR and the smaller known as Pangkor Laut. It has a population of over 20,000. Pulau Pangkor is a mountainous island with a all weather paved ring road circumventing the Island. This Ring Road is 25 kilometers long, a heaven for mountain bikers though certain stretches are made precarious by on-coming traffic. The highest "peak" on the island is 800 feet. There is a mountain trail from Pasir Bogak beach to the Sungei Pinang Town. Pulau Pangkor welcomes visitors with its serene, golden beaches, crystalline blue water and cool, refreshing breezes. Located about 9Okm south-west of lpoh, it is largely inhabited by fisherfolk. They live in scattered fishing settlements along the coast especially on the eastern side, facing the town of Lumut and Teluk Batik, and their catch comprises mainly cuttle-fish and anchovy. The Pangkor island is famous for its 'ikan bilis' (anchovies) and squids. The real attraction here however are the enchanting beaches on the western coastline Pantai Puteri Dewi , Teluk Belanga, Teluk Nipah, and Teluk Cempedak are marvellous for swimming or just basking in the sun, in complete privacy admist tranqull surroundings.With its serene golden beaches, crystalline green water, vibrant tropical forests and cool refreshing breezes, Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor) remains a haven for those seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It comes as no surprise that Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor) has for centuries been a welcome stopover for voyagers, pirates, and adventurers throughout history. Yet the island's natural wonders have remained unscarred, and her environment remains as tranquil and beautiful as ever.
