Overview


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 4095 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! Begin the descent before the mists of the morning roll in, and carry back memories of a memorable mountain climb.
