One of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia, the mighty Mt. Kinabalu (Gunung Kinabalu) attracts climbers from all over. But the 13,435-foot (4,095-meter) summit isn’t the only reason travellers visit Kinabalu National Park. With around 6,000 species of flora, the UNESCO-listed park is recognised as one of the most important biological sites in the world.
Experienced climbers should have little trouble summiting Mt. Kinabalu. It’s still a tough climb, though, and travellers attempting it must be fit and prepared to cope with temperature extremes and lower oxygen levels. For legislative reasons, all climbers require a guide, and all climbs involve an overnight stay on the mountain and an early morning trek to the summit. Most climbing tours include overnight accommodation, meals, and hotel pick-up and drop-off. Some tours follow the climb with a restorative soak in the waters of Poring Hot Springs.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Climber below 16 YEARS OLD are considered children climber by Sabah Park
Children climbers are compulsory to employ extra private guide @RM230 per guide
Each private guide can look after maximum of 2 children climbers
