More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into humid air at the Oriental Village, the cable car terminal humming as gondolas climb the cliff face. The first rattle of the SkyCab gives way to a wide, slow ascent over lowland forest and limestone folds; below, the Andaman Sea flashes between islands. At the upper stations the wind sharpens and the view opens—chain of islets, a town roofline, and ridgelines cut from rock older than most continents.
