The Eagle has landed.
From the under belly of the eagle structure, visitors see a nest of three eggs perched over a cliff at the mid-station of the world’s steepest cable ride.
The Eagle’s Nest skywalk offers a vista of lush forest below that blends in with the azure sky and blue seascape of islands that is seemingly the perfect spot for the predatory reddish brown eagles – the Brahminy Kites found in Langkawi.
On the skywalk, a glass-bottom round deck overhangs out of the Mount Machinchang mountain that the brave tourists get to experience the thrill of looking down a straight drop of over 650 metres to the cable ride station below.
On close up, you will notice that one of the three eggs has hatched with broken shells.
Kemana mag picks this article as its opening travel story because it is emblematic of characteristics that is being co-opted as our ethos as a travel portal; an eagle that has clear vision, takes quick flight and soar to great heights, focuses on the here and now, committed to overcome challenges, zooms in to seize opportunities, prepares to work outside of your comfort zone, and exhibits courage. Welcome onboard! – Editor
This travel story on Eagle Nest Skywalk is narrated by Lynn Zubir, a former veteran hotel general manager, whose detailed knowledge of the hospitality industry.
Perched at the peak of the middle station of Langkawi’s landmark Sky Bridge accessible by the world’s steepest cable car ride is an Eagle sculpture watching over a nest laid with twigs and two eggs and another with broken shells.
This new attraction at 650 meters above sea level has a 38-meter free standing cantilever glass platform that looks down to the valley below.
Eagle’s Nest is fast becoming a must-see when visiting the touristy island and to experience the glass walk is surely the prelude to the more exciting Sky Bridge on top.
Imagine having to work up the courage to step on the glass platform, placing your best foot in front and feeling with relief the weight of your body firmly grounded, is not a task as easy as it seems.
