Top things to do in Perhentian Kecil

Perhentian Islands have long been on our list ever since we came across it while searching for some good beach destinations. The crystalline water, the white sandy beaches and the towering greenery were enticing enough to make us add it to the top of our wishlist. Two years later, on our 6th wedding anniversary, we could not have selected a better place to visit amongst the Malaysia tourist attractions. 

Perhentian Islands consist of 2 islands – the small one is called Perhentian Kecil and the bigger one is Perhentian Besar. Both islands are beautiful and you can never go wrong with your choice irrespective of whichever island you choose for your stay. We stayed at Perhentian Kecil and absolutely loved it.

Top things to do

Perhentian Kecil is the kind of place where you can spend days simply relaxing at the beach or enjoy your time swimming in the crystal clear water of the sea. But if you are more than just a relaxing person, then here is a list of top things to do in Perhentian Kecil.

Beach Hopping

There are many beautiful beaches in Perhentian Kecil each having its own unique charm. Where Long Beach and Coral Bay are the main beaches ideal for stay, there are other small ones that can be visited by water taxi. This includes places like Mira Beach [aka Keranji Beach] which is a tiny beach with just one resort, yet a very nice place to relax by the sea. Then comes Turtle beach and Romantic beach which are considered rivals when it comes to the prettiest beach on the island. And this is not all. You can also visit the beaches of Perhentian Besar.

Snorkelling trips

The Perhentian Islands are famous for their beautiful underwater world teeming with marine life. From witnessing rich coral reefs to swimming around turtles and sharks, snorkelling in Perhentian Island could be absolutely overwhelming. There are different snorkelling spots around the islands which provide different experiences. So taking more than one snorkelling trip is always recommended. 

You will find a lot of snorkelling/diving tour operators in the island providing snorkelling trips to different locations or a few points together in one trip. Decide as per your choice and be mesmerised by the world underneath the blue water. Read More……

Usually when it comes to trip planning, I am the one who comes up with the options on what city or country to visit.

One week in Nepal and I came back home super energised thanking Sush for suggesting this beautiful country. It’s a country that felt so dear and many ways so similar to India.

My Love affair with Shergaon – The Charming Hamlet of Arunachal Pradesh

Image
Shergaon – A name I did not know until about recently, must be a month or two before we planned our trip to Arunachal Pradesh. And yet here I am, dreaming of the days we spent in this quaint little village in Arunachal Pradesh . A place blessed with remarkable natural beauty and a temperate climate, but more than that the most wonderful people with hearts of gold.  A little stroll under the morning sun, moments of solitude by a waterfall hidden inside the forest and incredible warmth shown by people to two strangers in their land – I fell hopelessly in love with Shergaon. Why Shergaon became my favourite The Natural Beauty Shergaon is blessed with unparalleled natural beauty. It is cradled by lofty mountains. River and brooks with the clearest of water flow joyously through it. Farmlands and fruit orchards brimming with life dot the landscape. Even the wild flowers and different shrubs add so much to the charm of the place. And at some places, manmade wooden and iron bri...
