Sight-seeing on Langkawi...

Located on the southwest coast of the main island, about 30 minutes drive from Kuah Town is the mountain Gunung Machinchang.  The Langkawi cable-car route links the base to the Peak Station on top of the mountain. The 20 minutes journey you take in a four-seater cable car silently ascends the height over a distance of 2.2 kilometres.

The cable-car reaches a first platform where you alight and board another cable-car that takes you to the main observatory platform on the peak. Once at the peak, you have a fantastic view of Langkawi Island and Andaman Sea. On another corner a short walk away, is a steel bridge suspended between two mountains which you can cross.
