With the cost of RM 30, this cable car will take you to the top of Mount Machincang, the highest mountain on the island of Langkawi, as high as 708 masl. From the summit will be seen throughout the island, various tourist attractions in the island, even the southern part of Thailand!
When I had the opportunity to try this cable car, the queue is not too much, maybe because at that time not a holiday. I believe on a weekend or holiday season, this place will become a favorite of tourists. The Malaysian government is actively promoting tourism, in addition to the island of Langkawi is famous for its beauty. And see 360 degrees of beauty something must be done.
After entering the gondola is enough for six people, gondola door closes automatically. If quiet, you can just get a gondola for two. We were brought up to the second stop (the middle base) as far as 1700 meters. From the gondola You can see the panorama of forests in the surrounding area, including Lake Seven waterfalls, one of the icons of tourism in the island. Getting to the top, wider visibility. Blue sea surrounding the island even more visible.
At the second stop with a height of 650 masl, passenger gondola to go down to watch the scene more clearly. One of the favorite sights here is the formation of ancient rocks that formed 500 million years ago in the Cambrian period.
Because of its altitude, the second stop is the wind blowing pretty fresh. I made time to walk around and take photos of substations, substation view available. Everything is built in a modern way. Local and foreign tourists are also busy enjoying and preserving views of the Langkawi Island from above.
Now it's time again to continue the trip up the gondola to the top Machincang. This time not too far, only about 450 meters, but the scenery offered by the more extraordinary. At the top station, you can take the stairs down to view post. From there you can see the entire island, Kedah to Thailand. Tropical rain forest of Langkawi around cliffs, ravines and caves.
If you are an adventurer who likes trekking, there are other ways to reach the summit of Mount Machincang. From Lake Seven, you can do trekking along the 2.5 miles to the second stop.
There is a safe footpath to ensure safety and comfort of tourists. After that, you can continue walking for about 20 minutes to peak. Perhaps it is more tiring, but very appropriate for those who do not mind sweating while watching the beauty of tropical forests more closely.
Langkawi is also famous for its beaches, among others, Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Pantai Kok and Tanjung Rhu. In addition there are also Garden Birds, Mashuri's Tomb and several waterfalls, such as Lake Seven and Durian Perangin.
Langkawi Island is not too large that can be surrounded by vehicles in a day. The most convenient is to rent a motorcycle at a price of about RM 30 per day. You will be asked to show driver's license and leave the passport to rent a motorcycle. Unlike in major cities, roads in Langkawi is very safe and comfortable, free of traffic jams and pollution. Happy holidays!
