Scenario of your tour
Your adventure starts from your 1½ hours journey from Kota Kinabalu to Kinabalu National Park that passes through scenic countryside and beautiful mountain range. Upon your arrival at the Kinabalu Park’s headquarters, you are required to register your name and passport number.
At about 9.30 am, you will be transferred to Timpohon gate located at 1,866.4 meters above sea level and from there you will proceed to Laban Rata that may take 4 to 6 hours walk.

Along this trail, you will be able to see for yourself different vegetations. There are 6 shelters that you can take your rest while at the same time enabling you to enjoy the panoramic view of the rainforest. By late afternoon you should be able to reach Laban Rata, check-in into the dormitory and after that you will be given your free own leisure. You will be served with dinner before your overnight stay at this site as a preparation for your walk to the summit.

The next morning, at about 2.30 a.m, you will be given a wake-up call. Get ready with your flash light because you needed it to help you see the dark trail of your final journey of 30 minutes to the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, that is, the summit of Hugh Low’s Peak at 4,095.2 meters above sea level. Your stay at the peak will be about 4 hours so don’t forget to bring your camera for you to capture your memorable climb of this well known mountain, Mount Kinabalu. Also, witness the spectacular sunrise so that you will not regret this once in a life time unforgettable experience. A breakfast will only be served when you reach Laban Rata. Your check-out of Laban Rata starts your descend to Timpohon gate and thereby ends your Kinabalu climbing.

Your lunch will be held at the Liwagu restaurant and after that you will be transferred back to Kota Kinabalu.
