Langkawi Cable Car, Gondola lift system in Langkawi, Malaysia.

Langkawi Cable Car is a gondola lift in Langkawi, Malaysia, connecting a base station at the foot of Mount Mat Cincang with two additional stops along the slope. The top station reaches 708 meters above sea level and offers an open view over the sea and surrounding forests.

An Austrian company worked with partners in Malaysia to build the installation over roughly one year between 2001 and 2002. The investment stood at 46 million ringgit and the opening provided visitors with a new link up the mountain.

The name SkyCab is used alongside Langkawi Cable Car, and the base station sits inside Oriental Village, a theme shopping centre of 30 individually designed buildings showing Malaysian and Oriental architecture. At the base, the SkyDome offers free 360-degree dome theatre viewing while visitors wait for a gondola, which arrives about every 30 seconds.

Gondolas leave the base station about every 30 seconds, and the ride to the top takes roughly 15 minutes. The service may be suspended in strong winds or bad weather, and it can close about two days a month for scheduled maintenance. Food and drink are not allowed on the ascent.

The 42-degree gradient between the Base and Middle stations is described in the sources as one of the steepest in the world, not merely in Asia. The same section holds the longest free span for a mono-cable car, 919.5 m between Tower 2 and the Middle station.
