A cable car ride takes you to Langkawi's second highest peak, where the view of the surrounding islands is spectacular. On a clear day, you can see parts of Thailand towards the north and Indonesia towards the south-west. The cable car ride up the hill takes about 20 minutes and is highly exhilarating. The over-ruling height of Machinchang mountain(708m), its commanding views over Langkawi, the western sea-coast, and the dramatic views over the funnel with its staggered rock blocks will make the visitors wonder in amazement and bring the visitors so close to nature that they can practically touch it.

This was my 1st experience on a Langkawi Cable Car.

 I was actually quite scared of getting on this thing. Sitting in a bucket with rickety doors dangling at the height of mountains doesn’t seem comforting to me. In order to get on, the attendants quickly open the doors as the cabin comes around and you have to quickly jump in before it leaves the platform…

I was nervous. Once we were on, I was completely overtaken by the experience. There were multiple waterfalls gushing down at every side, and the fresh air was very much appreciated. it's so nice day for me and hope will be back and try again....('_')
