Pulau Gubang Darat, Langkawi

Pulau Gubang Darat is an island on the southwestern part of Pulau Dayang Bunting. It is to the south of Teluk Dayang Bunting. There are two islands by this name. Pulau Gubang Darat is located closer to shore while Pulau Gubang Laut is farther offshore. Both are forested island that are uninhabited.

To the south of Pulau Gubang Darat are many more rocky islets that jut out of the sea. Among these are Pulau Puchong, Pulau Tajai, Pulau Ketumbu, Pulau Balar, Pulau Batang, Pulau Selat Riang Riang and Pulau Ujong Buloh.

The word "gubang" can refer to two things. It is either a sailing boat which is between 20-25 feet in length, or steps chiseled to the trunk of a tree to assist climbing.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
