A cool mist presses against the windows as the cable car climbs out of the lowland heat — the rainforest drops away and a different climate takes over. From the gondola the valley unfurls: rubber plantations give way to rising ridgelines and the clustered lights of Gohtong Jaya shrink beneath the slow swing of the SkyWay.
