The cable car clips the ridge and the island opens beneath you: a checkerboard of rainforest crowns, jagged limestone outcrops and the Andaman Sea fringing the horizon. Boarding the SkyCab at the base of Mount Mat Cincang feels like stepping into a clean, mechanical bird that will carry you through cloud and canopy to a cooler, wind-cut summit.
