Itinerary Notes

Climbing Mount Kinabalu
The well-marked trail is predominantly made up of steep steps. There is no rush, so you can enjoy the surroundings as the trail passes through tropical rainforest and sub-alpine vegetation before arriving at the rugged rock face of the exposed peak. The climb is about 6km (5-6 hrs walking). You spend the night at a mountain rest house (3,300m) and very early the following morning you make the ascent to the summit where you will experience a spectacular sunrise and fantastic views – well worth all the effort. You can descend to the mountain rest house for breakfast and then continue down at leisure, stopping to look at the array of flora including over 1,000 varieties of orchid.

At times, the ascents and descents can be steep so you do require a good level of fitness. We recommend that you do some physical preparation before your trip; the more physically fit you are, the more easily your body will adapt to trekking up Mt Kinabalu. Footing can be treacherous, so we recommend that you bring hiking boots with ankle support.

You will only require a small amount of luggage during the trek and so you will only need to carry a small daypack / rucksack. You can leave the vast majority of your belongings in storage at our accommodation in Kinabalu National Park. You’ll stay one night in a mountain rest house, with communal sleeping and washing facilities. The rest house is heated and blankets are provided. You may however wish to bring your own sleeping sheet to use with the blankets.
