  • From Pantai Cenang: About 30 minutes by car or Grab to Oriental Village at Teluk Burau.

The story of the Langkawi SkyCab

The SkyCab climbs from Oriental Village to the peak of Mount Mat Cincang, about 700 metres above sea level, with some of the steepest gradients of any cable car in the world. The rocks of Mat Cincang are among the oldest in Malaysia.

Near the top, the Sky Bridge is a curved pedestrian bridge about 125 metres long, hanging over the forest from a single pylon. On clear days you can see across the Andaman Sea to the islands of southern Thailand.
