Langkawi - Sky Bridge








Here’s one of the most spectacular bridges in the world that delivers quite a pump of adrenaline.

It’s not a bridge to the sky, but it’s not far from the idea!

The sky-bridge is suspended at 700m above sea level and spans 125m across the mountains, offering magnificent views of the Andaman Sea and Thailand’s Tarutao Island.

It’s set apart from other bridges by its curves that provide different perspectives of the landscapes.

An intermediate Cable Car station on the eastern ridges provides the much desired access to the eastern cliffs with its 3 vertical chimneys and the beautiful 360-degree views. For the first time, visitors would be able to observe at close range the unique rock formations geological features of the Machincang range, which was formed 500 million years ago during the Cambrian period, in geological terms.

The journey from the Base Station to Middle Station will cover 1,700 meters in length and upon reaching the Middle Station at an elevation of 650m above sea level, visitors will be able to alight and walk up to the viewing platforms.

Visitors will enjoy panoramic view of the main island as well as the many surrounding islands. They will also be able to observe at close range the unique flora on the ridges and the forested valley between the Middle Station and the Top Station. After enjoying the beautiful view, visitors will then board back the gondolas, which will take them another 450 meters up to the Top Station.
