Kinabalu Park trails for the explorer!

#wecreate healthy vibes when exploring the great outdoors! If climbing Mt Kinabalu is not for you, consider trekking the trails at Kinabalu Park. There are a variety of trails around the park, some are more challenging than others. The most friendly of them all was Silau-Silau which is mostly flat. Be mindful that the ground can be pretty soft if it has been raining and your shoes will get dirty! 🥹 Kiau View Trail has adequate ascent but is generally still pretty friendly. It crosses path with the Pandanus Trail which also has a little bit of ups and downs. The fresh air is just fantastic! And the greenery…is good for the soul ❤️ Entrance fee to the park is RM10/pax and is valid for the whole day. #kinabalupark #hiking #outdoors #sabah

Mount Sabah, also known as Mount Kinabalu, is the highest peak in Southeast Asia, at an altitude of 4095.2 meters, and grows at a height of 0.5 cm per year. It is the highest peak between Himalayan and New Guinea, and its granite peaks. Straight on the sky, the spectacular, is the biggest challenge for mountain climbers in Southeast Asia. In 2000, Mount Kinabalu was listed as a World Natural Heritage by UNESCO. Today's Shenshan is a world-famous mountaineering destination. The peak of more than 4,000 meters is relatively easy to climb. Its spectacular scenery attracts tens of thousands of mountain climbers every year to challenge themselves. It takes two days and one night to climb the mountain. On the first morning, I will take a car from Kota Kinabalu city to reach the starting point of the mountain climbing at an altitude of over 1,000 meters. It will travel six kilometers along the hiking trail in Laban Rata. The hostel stays at rest; the next day at 2:30 in the morning, take a steep mountain road for nearly three kilometers to reach the peak "Roche Peak". If you are lucky, you can see the sunrise, then go down the mountain and return to the starting point of the mountain. The section of the mountain road that climbed to the top is extremely difficult. It requires hands and feet and can be passed by grasping the rope fixed on the rock. On the summit of Roche, the foot is a deep abyss, looking to the east, the beautiful sun is shining out. To the east of the Roche peak is a levee that falls 1000 meters straight, which is the remains of the glaciers of the Ice Age. After watching the sunrise on the top of the mountain, it indicates that it is time to go down. The direct sunlight on the top of the mountain will cause damage to the skin, and the climate on the mountain will change. Once it rains, it will become more difficult and it will encounter mountain torrents. Therefore, all climbers must return to the top of the attack before 10 am. Management station at seven kilometers.

A Trekking Trip to Kinabalu National Park

This is a trip to Borneo Island in Malaysia. The nearest airport is Kota Kinabalu Airport. I obtained an international driving permit (which can be easily obtained at the Land Transport Bureau for 3800 yen and a photo taken within the last three months. Photos can also be taken at the bureau for a fee) and went on the trip. If you are comfortable with travel English, you can rent a car and make a same-day reservation at the local airport. Of course, you can also make a reservation online in advance. If you are worried about traveling, it is recommended to get full insurance, which is not very expensive. It takes about 2.5 hours from the airport to reach Mount Kinabalu. We stayed at a hotel at the foot of Mount Kinabalu and trekked to the longest waterfall on Mount Kinabalu the next day, which is a 5-hour round trip. The route was a bit hot at times, but it is walkable even for a 15-year-old high school student. The hotel also has the famous Poring Hot Springs, where you can relax your tired body before heading back.

Kinabalu GeoPark

#malaysiatrip The national park is a heritage site and offers hiking trails, botanic garden, lodge for stay and snacking places. There is so much fauna and flora to learn about and a good place to start is the botanic garden (5 RM for non-Malaysian adult) The hiking trails are good and requires stamina. Be prepared for the rain, humidity and the sun. There are so many endemic varieties of birds and insects to watch out for. All in all it’s a natural paradise that is well preserved, natural therapy if you will!

Give out sweat at this Place!!

Kinabalu Park in Sabah was in 1964 designated as one of the first national parks of Malaysia. However, I always knew that there was a great cloud forest in Sabah, so when I had the chance to visit here during my stay in Kota Kinabalu, I jumped at the chance! The first thing that hit me was the beautiful scenery (well, apart from the choking humidity). It ALWAYS rains here in Kinabalu Park and apart from getting us wet, it gives great life to the flora around here; the trees and shrubbery are all so green, and it makes for a very scenic hike. Arguably the main highlight of Kinabalu Park though is the actual namesake itself, Mount Kinabalu, which is one of the youngest non-volcanic mountains in the world. It was formed within the last 10 to 35 million years and still grows at a rate of 5mm a year! When visiting Kinabalu Park, it is best to wear warm clothing and pack some gloves. Also, don’t forget to bring a highly water resistant rucksack in case it rains (it will rain!). Consider bringing some high-energy snacks with you, too, such as chocolate bars and sugary treats. #christmasgiveaway #nationalpark #momentsmission #christmaslights

Kinabalu Park is stunning. If you are visiting #kotakinabalu in #borneo, #malaysia, then I can’t recommend a daytrip to Mount Kinabalu enough. This park has it all: Jungle scenery, stunning Mountain Views and more. And you don’t even need to climb the mountain to enjoy it. Simply get a driver for the day to explore the park. My personal favorite part was climbing the bridge in the forest. It was definitely not an experience for the faint of heart (or for those with a fear of heights!) Towards the top of the mountain, there is also a creamery and dairy farm that’s worth a visit. You can also pay a few extra ringgit to see a rafflesia (rare flower) up close. #wintergetaway
