Seeing the mountain is a highlight and it is good to say we have seen it. Downside is it is about a 3hr drive from KK to get there, then 3hr return if it is a cloudy day the mountain hides so you wouldn't even see it. The national park walk on our tour was only for an hour and... More

I would recommend the Mt K climb as the overall experience is great. Would recommend some downhill/stairs training before you go as I found the descent a bit of a killer, and it wasn't just me. Would recommend getting private rooms with bathroom as the communal showers were cold, this will not enhance your experience... Good place to stay afterwards... More

Make sure you're ready to take this on... it's a steep mountain and the terrain is not all smooth.. don't wear flip flops and bring yourself a bottle of water

My girlfriend and I did this climb with no prior training over two days and one night. The first day was terrible due to the weather but we had a cloud-free morning on the trip to the summit and got some amazing photos. Approximately 4-5 hours of walking during the first day and 10-11 hours of walking on the second... More

Conquering Mt Kinabalu has to be the most physically and emotionally taxing experience I ever had to go through (well, second to my puppy love experience. hahaha). But the view at the top and the whole journey were so worth it. My sister and I conquered this beautiful mountain on May 13 and more than anything else, it was one... More

We booked with Dive Down below who were great. Good transfer from hotel to Mountain. Take heaps of photos, need to take your own lunch as the supplied lunch is ordinary. Plenty of water and a poncho. Also hire a walking stick, this is essential for the walk down the mountain. Accommodation fantastic and buffet style food. Guide was very... More

A steady 4-5hrs uphill from Timpohon Gate will get you to your overnight accommodation. We were first there and enjoyed an (unexpected) cool water shower in the Pendant Hut. A detailed and informative briefing on the via ferrata routes by the Mountain Torq guides was followed by a lovely buffet dinner at Laban Rata Guesthouse. Then it was early to... More

Leave nothing but Footprint. Take nothing but Photograph. Leave nothing but memory. You either enjoy it the first time round, or give yourself a few reasons to do better the next time round. but to think about it, why not just do it right the first time? I highly recommend that you get A good Pair of Gore-tex shoe, a... More

We climbed via Mesilau Trail. It was longer, yet it offers better view than Timpohon Trail. And they'll also give you 2 certs for that :p If you get to the peak during a clear day, them you're lucky! The view is great, it's nice to just sit and relax for a bit when it is not so cold. The... More
