Kubang Badak in Langkawi showcases diverse geological landscapes. In the west, the Machinchang Range, Malaysia's oldest, features hard, erosion-resistant sandstone forming mountains with original deposition shapes. To the south, Bukit Sawak consists of granite rocks behind a vast mudplain. The east presents karst hills with steep, rugged peaks, sculpted from easily soluble limestone. These distinct geological formations offer varied scenic beauty, best admired from a boat on Sungai Kubang Badak, revealing a tapestry of Langkawi's rich and varied natural heritage.
