The cable car eases you up through clouds and a living, breathing forest—trees lean as if to peer into the gondola, and the ridge opens in stages until the resort-top plateaus snap into view. Start in Kuala Lumpur and let the road climb out of the cityscape into humidity-thinned air; the Skyway slices across steep valleys so you can watch the mountain skin of ferns and granite unroll beneath you.
