We conquered the steepest cable car in the world! Woohoo!
The kids love to go on cable cars but this was a whole new experience altogether. The Langkawi Cable Car, or Langkawi SkyCab, has a gradient of 42° and is said to be the steepest in the world. No wonder the kids were so excited and kept screaming in joy when we were going up.
There are three stations for the cable car; the Top Station is located at the peak of Gunung Machinchang which is the second highest peak of Langkawi. We went up to a viewing platform which gave us a 360° view of the island. It was windy, cold but fun to be there and shiver together. Haha.
As if the thrill was not enough, we also made our way to the Langkawi Sky Bridge which is a 125-metre curved pedestrian cable-stayed bridge. To get there, we took a hike through the forest for around 20mins, went up and down countless steep steps and brushed past many monkeys too. That walk in itself so memorable already, not to mention when we were finally on the bridge at 660 metres above sea level. You can even take off your shoes and step or sit on the glass flooring to get a better feel of what's underneath.
This was a surely a fun and adventurous family day out for the kids to remember. Till more updates on our Langkawi trip!
P.S. The queue at the ticketing counter was so long when we arrived and the hubby wanted to give up already! Thankfully I bought our tickets from @klooktravel and received instant confirmation so we could collect our tickets from the online booking counter. Cheaper and faster too! Phew.
