    SKYBRIDGE

    The Langkawi Sky Bridge was built in 2003 and was finished in 2004 taking 12 months from August to August to build. The parts were carried to the top of the mountain via helicopter and then later assembled together. The curved bridge measures 125m in length and hangs about 100m above ground level. It is accessible from the Top Station, the bridge is suspended from a 82m high single pylon and it can accommodate up to 250 people at the same time.

    It swings out over the landscape to give visitors a unique spatial experience, and to bring them into otherwise unattainable locations, above virgin jungle with spectacular views. Notably, in contrast to a straight bridge, where the end is always monotonously in sight, a curved bridge offers spectacularly changing perspective that reinvent themselves, as you proceed along it.
