A cable car that climbs steeply up Gunung Mat Cincang, one of the oldest mountains in Malaysia, over the rainforest to a summit station at 708 m. From the top, the views over the Andaman Sea, Langkawi's islands and, on a clear day, Thailand are spectacular, especially at sunset.


From the top station, the Sky Bridge, a curved suspension bridge hanging over the jungle, can be reached on foot or by a short inclined lift (Sky Glide). The cable car starts at the Oriental Village. It closes in bad weather and for maintenance, so check before you go, and arrive early to avoid long queues.
