7 Wells Waterfall, Langkawi

Compare to Langkawi cable car, this 7 Wells Waterfall obviously has less tourists and visitors. We noticed, in order to reach the 7 wells, the steps that we need to climb is not funny…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but there is an exit half way (maybe not even half way, just 1/4 of the way), with no objection, we both agree to take the exit…

 

No regret! After the exit, with just a minute or 2 walking distance, we came to a beautiful waterfall (not superb beautiful, but beautiful enough for city girls like us)

What can do @ the waterfall? Posing, photo taking… leg spa-ing & pretending… (pretend that I can read book under hot sun)

When we finished pretending… we hesitated, shall we proceed to the peak or go down? We saw a group of tourist walking down, we asked them how they feel when they were up there, some shook their heads, one explained to us, there has nothing much to see because it’s not rainy season… I think, since we were already there, will it be a waste if we didn’t go up? So, at last, we flipped coin to decide… wuhoo… “God” told us not to go up!!! (sorry God, we used You).

Misc.:

1. Very special seed/ fruits everywhere along the steps.

2. The car that we rent to travel around the island. RM100 for 2 days… trust me, worth spending.

Langkawi Cable Car

Although the trip was a short trip (arrived at night on the 1st day and departed to KL early on the 3rd day, so we only have 1.5 days in the island) and that wasn’t my 1st time to Langkawi (but that was my travel mate 1st time visit to Langkawi), you know me, I don’t usually do thing without a planning. Surfing surfing… I roughly know where I want to go. Among those attractions, cable car is in my must-go list. Why? I don’t know, I’ve visited most of the main tourist attractions in my previous visits except this.

“Panorama Langkawi Cable Car

Langkawi cable car is located on the southwest coast of Langkawi island. There are 3 stations along the cable car line, i.e. Base, Middle and Top Station. The cable car ride will bring you all the way up to about 708 meters above sea level. This journey covers a total distance of 2.2 km linking the Base Station at the foothill of Machinchang mountain to Top Station at the mountain summit.

During the cable car ride, you can really enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding lush green rainforests, the Telaga Tujuh waterfall, the ocean and some of the pristine islands that make up the Langkawi Island cluster. As you approach the Middle Station, look out for the unique rock formations which dated back to about 450 million years old.

From the Top Station, which stands at 708m above sea level - holds two viewing platforms that allows for an amazing view that goes right up to southern Thailand. If you want to get a birds eye view of the whole island and enjoy the very best scenery that Langkawi island could offer then the cable car is the place that you must visit.”

        The gondolas                                                        Beautiful view from gondola - The 7 Wells Waterfall

My travel mate & me in the gondola (we met so many foreign tourists there, I think we were the only 2 Malaysians in this attraction)

    The observation deck @ the middle station                                    View from middle station (1) - The top station

                   View from middle station (2) – Sky Bridge                                View from middle station (3) – Perdana Quay

Gondolas reaching & leaving middle station                                    Hop on to the gondola again to top station

Breath-taking view from the observation deck @ top station – Sky connecting to the sea, sea connection to the sky, and the sea water is so crystal clear until you can see the coral in it.

2 observation decks @ top station

I like this “roof” design @ the observation decks                     Jungle tracking from cable car top station to sky bridge

The sky bridge… What a magnificent design & construction

Near the cable car base station, there are convenient shops, restaurant, souvenir shops & a deer farm! Some tourists (the foreigners) told us they went there twice, 1 in the day and 1 during sunset, it’s beautiful and romantic to see sunset from top station! What a lousy Malaysian (I mean me), I don’t even know this detail! If I know this earlier, I would go there during evening. Okay, probably this means that I will need to visit to the cable car again in the future, perhaps will be visiting with my love…
