If roughing it out in the wild and being close to Nature is what attracts you, then trek to Mount Kinabalu – the highest peak in Southeast Asia. Travel past the beautiful Crocker Mountains to reach the Kinabalu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the domain of the world's largest flower, the Rafflesia and the world’s oldest rainforests. The Kinabalu National Park is also home to the Poring Hot Springs. Visit the Hot Springs that have been named after a species of giant bamboo that grows in the area. The sulphur hot springs provide a therapeutic bath and marked trails lead to small waterfalls and caves.

Your journey to the summit of Mount Kinabalu will begin at Timpohon Gate and lead you on a day long trek to Laban Rata which is 3345 metres above sea level. Rise before dawn if you want to reach the summit in time to catch a spectacular sunrise. Reach out and you could almost touch the clouds from a height of close to 4000 meters! Begin the descent before the mists of the morning roll in, and carry back memories of a memorable mountain climb.

Itinerary

Day 1

Pick-up from your hotel in Kota Kinabalu in the morning. Depart for the Kinabalu Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, traversing the Crocker Range. Enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside on the drive. A brief stop at a native market and then on to the Park for check-in. This nature-lover’s retreat is home to a wide range of unspoilt flora and fauna. Visit the Exhibit Centre and Mountain Garden to learn more about some of Mother Nature’s miracles, or explore the many graded trails. Visit the Poring Hot Spring before check-in at the Park Headquarters. Sulphur hot springs provide a therapeutic bath and marked trails lead to small waterfalls and caves. Overnight stay at the Park Headquarters (twin-bed cabin).
