The Langkawi Sky Bridge
At 2,300 feet above sea level, the bridge is easily accessible by the Langkawi Cable Car. The journey to the top begins in the eastern town in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok. Once the cable car starts up it is a bit chilly as the winds flow through the slots. ventilation at the top, so we recommend that you bring a sweater beforehand.

Sights on the way to the top of Langkawi's second highest peak include those of the Telaga Tujuh waterfalls, and the rainforest. After traveling a few hundred feet upward, the cable car stops before Sky Bridge, the final station. Near where you disembark, there are dozens of stalls selling souvenirs, toys, snacks and drinks. Those who are afraid of heights can pass it regularly, but it is a very safe bridge with double steel railings and a closed wire mesh. The 1.8 meter wide bridge has two triangular platforms that act as 'lookouts' where you can stop, admire the view and rest your feet.

Next, a series of narrow stairs through the forest leading to the observation deck, the highest point where views of the sky and sea can be enjoyed truly unobstructed. In fact you can even see the island of Tarutao in Thailand. The end of the steel bridge that stretches from Mount Mat Cincang to a neighboring mountain is the part of the bridge of heaven that is unforgettable.

Although it is a hair-raising experience, as the bridge curves for 125 meters from a single support, it is really worth it. It is a unique opportunity to fill the memory card of our camera.
