[QUOTE="Chaan Pardesi, post: 145882, member: 7047"] Langkawi-the full name is Pulau Langkawi is in my birth state, Kedah.I spent many young days cycling the islands during the school excursions>once we even cycled from Kulim in South Kedah to Langkawi- a distance of approximately 150 miles in all - from point to point -Kulim to Kuala Perlis- from where we catch a boat...by the old roads-we did that in a day and half.The nearere Kuala Kedah was in those days almost a non existent Malay fishing village and no ferry connection directly to Lankawi.We stayed for five days in the old undeveloped islands with such beauty- which something that has gone missing these days with the tourists influx.There were 40 of us, it was great fun and we had stops along the way in Padang Serai, Sungai Petani. Langger was prepared in Gurduara sahib , Sungai Petani when the late Granthi Harbans Singh and the president, ?Lal singh heard, there were two Sikh boys in the group cycling all the way to Langkawi; from my esteemed father sahib!This is 1968 I am talking about.They only heard about it just as we left Kulim that morning at 7 am....They got a few of the sangat around and did a fantastic langger and an ardas for the safety of all of us.The non Sikhs were shocked and lost words for the great welcome we got.In fact I often recall that experience and tears roll down my eyes..thinking of that hospitality .. Our first group was welcomed and stopped just outside SP and were informed by the Sikhs who had come in two cars ... that as all the groups caught up we were to head for the Gurduara and stop at the Gurduara where there would be refreshments. At the intervals of about ten minutes one group- [there were ten of us in each cycling group ]after another caught at that point, imagine our surprise..and the warm welcome! I was in the second group and was asked to take the lead being a Sikh ..by the teacher in charge who was overwhlemed with emotions- in fact every one of us was.On our return journey we had refreshments as well. The next stop was Gurun and t we by passed Alor Star and headed for Sik and Kerpan and Kuala Perlis and on to the island. The sangat at A/Star too wanted us to stop at the Gurduara sahib.., but as we had by passed AS, they then caught up with us about five miles north of Alor Star.They brought soft drinks and hot tea with biscuits!A car had gone out on the old road to catch us entering AS, but we took some small little known road that bypasses the town and got beyond AS. Anyway, long story short, I have had since visited the place quite often. At one time one of my sister lived in Kangar, so it was always a short visit to the Langkawis whenever visiting her during my holidays.However since about 2001,when we went with some friends for diving excursions to Langkawi from UK, I have not been back.Perhaps next time. Beautiful islands.One of my chinese classmates is now the chief engineer at one of the leading hotel resorts and have had several invites from him to come over,but just never had the time.Plus, the islands have become too touristy ....now.
