Langkawi Sky Bridge & SkyCab

Jambatan Langit Langkawi

Ride one of the world's steepest cable cars up to the 700-meter Gunung Mat Cincang, then walk the 125-meter curved Sky Bridge suspended above the valley for views of the islands, rainforest and the Thai coast.

The Sky Bridge sits on Gunung Mat Cincang in the northwest of Langkawi, a mountain 708 meters above sea level made of 550-million-year-old Cambrian sandstone. Built in 2005, it is a curved pedestrian bridge suspended by steel cables from a single 82-meter pylon. It is 125 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, and hangs over a cliff about 660 meters high. The deck has two glass sections. From the bridge you can see 360 degrees over the Langkawi islands, the rainforest and the valley of Seven Wells Waterfall. On clear days you can even see Thailand's Koh Lipe and the Satun coast. To go up, you ride the SkyCab from the foot of the mountain, starting at Oriental Village, a commercial village built in the style of Malay and Asian architecture with shops, restaurants, a 3D art gallery and a small zoo. The cable car runs 2.2 km with a maximum gradient of 42 degrees, one of the steepest cable car routes in the world. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the top station at 708 meters via a middle station, and two observation decks overlook the islands. From the top station to the Sky Bridge is a 15-minute walk up a mountain path, or you can take the SkyGlide inclined elevator (about 15–20 ringgit), which avoids the steep climb. Tickets: for foreign visitors, the standard SkyCab round-trip ticket costs about 60–90 ringgit, and different packages include the SkyDome cinema, the 3D art gallery and more. Sky Bridge admission is an extra 5 ringgit (3 ringgit for children). The glass-bottomed “crystal” cable car costs about 50 ringgit extra, and fast-track access is charged separately. Opening hours are 09:30–18:00 (09:00 in peak season), and the last ascent is around 17:15. Arrive at opening time to avoid tour groups and afternoon clouds. The full visit takes 2–3 hours, after which you can walk 10 minutes to Seven Wells Waterfall. Getting there: about 20 minutes' drive from Pantai Cenang, or about 25–30 ringgit by Grab. Notes: the bridge or cable car closes in strong wind, thunderstorms or during maintenance, and tickets are non-refundable (you can reschedule). People who fear heights should take care on the glass floor. The summit is windy, and it gets slippery when it rains. In peak season and Malaysian holidays, queues can last 1–2 hours, so consider buying timed tickets online.
