Langkawi Cable Car
The Langkawi Cable Car, also known
as Langkawi SkyCab, is one of the major attractions in Langkawi Island, Kedah,
Malaysia. It provides an aerial link from the Oriental
Village at Teluk Burau to the peak of Gunung
Mat Cincang, which is also the location of the Langkawi Sky Bridge. The total length is 2.2 km
(1.4 mi), with a journey time from the base to the top of around 15 minutes. It
was officially opened in 2003.
The ride afford a view of the
surrounding forest, the Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells)
Waterfall, as well as the sea. From the top station there is an
inclinator called SkyGlide and a mountain route that allow access to the Langkawi Sky Bridge. There are two viewing
platforms at the top of Gunung Mat Cincang,
and other amenities.
There is a 2.5 km walking trail, the
SkyTrail, through the forest from the top station that goes down to the middle
station, and then the Seven Wells (Telaga Tujuh)
Waterfall, although walking unguided through the trail is not
advisable as the trail is not well-maintained and there is a risk of getting
lost. Pre-arrangement with a naturalist guide is necessary.
