You can see this island from a bird's eye view. No.. it's not by taking a small plane or a helicopter ride. You can just hop into a Langkawi cable car and have an awe-inspiring journey and panoramic views over Langkawi, neighbouring Kedah province and beyond to southern Thailand.

Taking a cable car to top of the legendary mountain, Gunung Mat Cincang is a wow! must-do. It is probably one of the most exhilarating experiences you'd ever have.

This cable car will bring you all the way up to 709 meters. The journey covers a total of 2.2 km at an incline of 42 degrees. The steep ascend and descent make your ride an exciting one! You'd see beaches and islands retreat into the distance.

From the cable car, you'd really enjoy the breathtaking view of the surrounding lush greem rainforests, the Telaga Tujuh waterfalls, the blue ocean and some of the pristine islands that make up the Langkawi island cluster. As you approach the middle station, look out for the unique rock formation from some 450 million years ago.

Langkawi cable car's top station, standing at 708m above sea level - holds two viewing platforms that allows for an amazing view that goes right up to southern Thailand. If you want to get a closer look and experience the fresh mountain air, make a stop at the second viewing station and walk to the top.
