"The 20th tallest mountain in the world and the 3rd tallest mountain in Southeast Asia, Kinabalu is an impressive massif on the island of Borneo."

Mt Kinabalu (4095m) is the third highest mountain in South-East Asia and is situated in the Kinabalu National Park in the province of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo. Thousands of tourists visit Kinabalu National Park each year and most come with the intention of climbing the magnificent granites.

Fortunately, Mt Kinabalu is one of the easiest peaks in the world to conquer. It takes just two days and climbers don't need any previous experience at mountain climbing. At sunrise, the views from the Mt Kinabalu's summit at Low's Peak are spectacular, making all the effort worthwhile. Anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and the willpower to push through fatigue and discomfort can climb to the summit of Mt Kinabalu. It is achievable and incredibly rewarding.

Most climbers take two days to ascend and descend Mt Kinabalu. The eight-kilometre climb starts from the the Timpohon Gate near park headquarters (1800m), with an overnight stay at one of the guest houses at Laban Rata (3273m), before pushing on to the summit early next morning. Mt Kinabalu's summit is usually reached in time to view the sunrise, before returning to Laban Rata for breakfast. Climbers then descend the mountain, generally reaching the park headquarters by mid-afternoon.

Please note again that this tour involves the trek to the summit of Borneo on Mt. Kinabalu at 4095m as well with an overnight stay in one of the spaces at the allocated huts. The park authorities only allow a maximum of 120 climbers per day and spaces are allotted based on available bed space. The trek to the accommodation zone (Laban Rata) will take between 4-6 hours depending on your level of fitness.

Here you will stay the night in your allocated accommodation. Early the next morning at about 2am you will start on the final leg of your summit ascent. This short trek will take between 2-3 hours per way. Return to Laban Rata for breakfast before trekking back to Timpohon Gate for your transport back to Kota Kinabalu.

It is recommended that all climbers should have themselves medically checked before attempting any mountain climb. If you have a history of suffering from the following ailments, it is highly recommend that you should refrain from climbing: Hypertension, Diabetes, Palpitation, Arthritis, Heart disease, severe anemia, Peptic ulcers, Epileptic fits, Obesity (overweight), Chronic asthma, Muscular cramps, Hepatitis (jaundice); or any other disease which may hamper the climber.
