Langkawi Cable Car
At 709 metres above sea
level,
the cable car ride up to
Langkawi's second highest
peak
is truly an experience not to
be missed.
Throughout the 20-minute
ride,
you will pass over jungle
waterfalls and a thick carpet
of virgin rainforest. On a
clear day, you can see parts
of Thailand towards the north
and Indonesia towards the
south-west.
Travelling at a steep incline
of 42 degrees, over a
distance
of 2.2 kilometres from the
base station to the two
mountain-top stations, even
the gentlest breeze is enough
to send one’s stomach
churning. But once you get
used to the sensation of
being
airborne, the ride quickly
turns into an amazing,
exhilarating experience.
At the top, a sky bridge
offers a breathtaking view of
Langkawi. Remember to wear
comfortable shoes as it is
quite a walk up to the
hanging
bridge.
The cable car operates from
10am to 7pm, subject to
weather conditions. The
service may be halted during
strong winds. The cost is MYR
15 for adults with a MyKad
and
MYR 5 for children (prices
subject to change).
