Langkawi Cable Car

The Langkawi Cable Car will take you high above the Langkawi rainforest on Mount Mat Chinchang for the most spectacular views of the surrounding islands and sea. It’s an absolute must-do when you visit Langkawi and a great way to orientate yourself when you first arrive.

The cable car was built without constructing any roads through the forest and has the longest suspension between two stations in the world. The view changes throughout the day with some spectacular sights at sunset. From the pinnacle of Mount Mat Chinchang  you will see 360-degree panoramic views of the Langkawi islands, mainland Malaysia and Southern Thailand.

There is plenty to explore on the mountain and it is possible to take jungle treks and birdwatching tours. 

Practical Info

To get to the cable car it is easiest to catch a taxi, getting them to wait will not cost too much more than the actual drive, otherwise tourist buses head there from towns around the island and many hotels.
