Dear traveller,
Deep in the heart of Langkawi, where ancient trees murmur secrets of old, Dream Forest stands as custodians of the island’s myths and legends. Here, every leaf, every glimmering light, speaks of tales as old as time. Allow me, Sang Gedembai, to welcome you into our Portal of Dreams, where the spongy forest floor invites you into a world where the history of Langkawi is not just learned, but lived.
The path ahead is filled with adventures, so let me take a moment to prepare you for what’s to come.
The Legend of Tasik Dayang Bunting
Our journey begins with a love story that has echoed through the ages. As you wander along Mat Teja’s trail, find yourself guided by twinkling lights and the sweet singing of Mambang Sari. The air is thick with the fragrance of Bakawali flowers, setting the stage for a beautiful romance. Here, in the embrace of the forest, a story of love, longing, and heartbreak unfolds, told with a vibrant blend of light and sound to bring the legend to life.
The Tale of Merong Mahawangsa
Leaving the lovebirds behind, the path winds on, beckoning you with a spirit of adventure to the legend of Merong Mahawangsa. Central to his tale is the origin of the ancient kingdom of Langkasuka, a realm believed to have once flourished where Langkawi stands today. His story, deeply rooted in the myths and legends in Malaysia, is retold through the traditional art of Wayang Kulit. Watch as the saga unravels around you in a play of shadows and light, bringing to life the valour and trials of this heroic warrior, transporting you back to a time when Langkawi was a kingdom of legend and lore.
Giants of Langkawi
Our adventure culminates in the mighty saga of Mat Raya, Mat Sawar, and Mat Chinchang —the giants of Langkawi. Feel the ground tremble and the air stir as the legendary battle comes to life, revealing to you the origins of the names to the land beneath your feet. This tale, etched into the landscape of the island, is a testament of the rich and vibrant history surrounding us, a chapter in the annals of Langkawi island’s history that you can relive.
