Climb Mount Kinabalu

Mount Kinabalu in Sabah is believed to be Southeast Asia’s highest mountain at 4,095 meters above sea-level. Surprisingly, Gunung Kinabalu is probably one of the easiest mountains to climb in the world, thanks to ready-made paths and permanent ropes to aid climbing steep slopes. There is even accommodation in the middle of the climb at Laban Rata (3,000 meters) before ascending to the peak.

The lower slopes of the mountain are strewn with some of the world's most diverse flora and fauna. Some of the species you can expect to see are rafflesias - the world's largest flower, pitcher plants – carnivorous vines, over 1000 species of orchids, orang-utans, gibbons, anteaters, and a multitude of birds. The climb up Kinabalu is truly an amazing experience. Best of all, there is no mountaineering equipment necessary just a bit of stamina.

The base of the mountain can be reached by road 83 km away from Sabah state’s capital Kota Kinabalu.
