cable car in langkawi







I have heard about the cable car in langkawi from frens and most of them who been up there said the view from top is nice... even the cable ticket cost RM25 per adult.. so before my recent langkawi trip, i have told my travel mates that i must go for the cable car, it is 'A MUST' for this trip.. others like island hopping, eager view, telaga tujur and etc, i don't mind to skip coz been there on my previous langkawi trips...

finally we are in the cable car station, yeah!!!! the cable car station is located in a park name 'Langkawi Geopark', there is a man make lake in the middle of the geopark, and surrounding by some souvenir shops and restaurants.. there are still lot of construction works going on, and it seems like they are buil up a hotel there.. frankly, the noises from the costructions are a bit irritating.. we didn't spend much time in the park, just walk around the lake..

surprisingly the queue in the cable car station is not long, we are expected its gonna long coz of school holiday.. we got our tickets (at the price of RM23, the airasia travel agent gave us RM2 discount) and join the queue to wait for our turn to get in the cable car..

the view while going up to the mountain (Guning Machinchang) is nice, my fren who scared of height seems like enjoying himself too, he might forgotten the fear by the beautiful view.. haha!!

finally we reached the first stop (there are 2 stops), we got out from the cable car and feel excited because of the fresh air and beautiful view.. nothing much there, just a platform for viewing..

we get in the cable car and continue to the second stop.. nothing much there as well.. actually we plan to have hot coffee when we reach the top, we were thinking there should be a coffee shop up there for us to relax to enjoy the fresh air, the view and the coffee.. (we are thinking this way because there are coffee shops on top of Table mountain in Cape Town and we really enjoy the coffee when we were there last time..) guess what..?? there is no coffee shop at all and only one malay stall selling ice cream and soft drinks, and the sitting place also not proper built.. we all got so fed up.. my fren said 'this is malaysia-lah... wat u expect..??' haha.. he is right!! absolutely right..!! and we found a foot massage services there too, 2 chairs (not even a massage chair) and the chairs just in the public view point there, not even a proper setup... huh....

the sky is getting darker and it should be time for us to make a move down.. finally we reached the bottom safely... although we got disappointed of the coffee shop but overall the cable car trip is nice and RM25 is worth for that..

another thing is.. the view from the top is not only nice... it is damn nice..!!! haha...

attached some photos here, hope u guys like it....!!
