Way Down

Being a Malaysian or Visitors to Malaysia, Mount Kinabalu is the must visit destination. Located in Kndasang, about 2 Hours drive from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. If you plan to climb Mount Kinabalu, prior arrangement with mount kinabalu park official is the must. Have overnight stay at various hotel/resort at the base of mount Kinabalu ( e.g:Perkasa Hotel, Pine Resort, Mount Kinabalu National Park resort, etc ), then journey to the peak begin. Each group(10person) will be guarded by 2 national park's guard. After 6-8hrs climbing we will reach Laban Rata, which a temporary shelter before the journey to the peak continued. Journey to the peak start at 2.00am and usually reaches Low's peak at 6am. Eventhough the journey is very tiring but the scenery on the way down makes us forget the hardship of upward journey.
