About this activity
Overview:
Embark on this 2-Day adventure for the opportunity to climb the highest mountain in South East Asia - Mt Kinabalu - with a summit at 4,095m. Day 1 sees you picked up from your hotel and transferred to Kinabalu Park to begin the trek. On Day 2 you will wake up in the early hours to commence the strenuous torchlit climb to the summit. The altitude will make things difficult but after 3 hours you should reach the summit’s granite plateau, just in time for a beautiful sunrise. You will head back to Laban Rata for breakfast and then trek back to the lower zones where vegetation is abundant. Return to Kota Kinabalu after this amazing experience.
