1 Day Malaysia Bagan Krian Swampland & Fire-Fly

Soak in the splendor of swampland by heading on to a forest reserve & traverse its boardwalk on stilts to get intimate with trees & plants that have been around longer than mankind. Swamp ecosystems have traditionally been sustained & managed by local populations for the production of food, medicines, tannins, fuel wood, & construction materials. Learn how the forest maintains a healthy coastal ecosystem by nursing juvenile fish, crabs, shrimps, & mollusks.

Additionally, manatees, crab-eating monkeys, fishing cats, monitor lizards, sea turtles, & mud-skipper fish also thrive in the swamp. And finally, highlight of the excursion comes in the form of glowing fire-fly colonies that are only found in Krian. Touch, feel their fluttering wings and be one of the lucky few to view this dreamlike phenomenon.
