Climbing Mount Kinabalu (4,095 meters above sea level) is a challenging three-day tour, taking you from the starting point at the Mount Kinabalu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the top of Malaysia’s highest mountain.
One of Sabah’s most popular tourist attractions, climbing Mount Kinabalu offers a rewarding experience to a throng of enthusiastic climbers each year. It also offers you the opportunity to experience the amazing diversity, natural beauty, and challenges that comes with conquering the mountain.
One of the important biological sites in the world, the Mount Kinabalu National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to more than 4,500 species of flora and fauna, offering a varied landscape that gradually changes as climbers move from the lowly foothills of Mount Kinabalu to the alpine regions of Laban Rata and higher.
