Itinerary
Option A: Trek Only
04:30
Get picked up from your hotel and start the trip with a 2-hour overland drive to Mesilau, Kundasang in the early morning06:30
Upon arrival, meet your local guide for a briefing on safety, do's and don'ts, and trail expectations at the registration office06:45
Hop into a four-wheel drive and be transferred to the trail's starting point, where your adventure kicks off!Proceed to the roughly cut, narrow trail to the peak that will take around 2 hours of hiking through dense vegetation and natural slopes. While the trek starts with a “warm up” of 600 meters of uphill paved roads, it soon enters into a thick forest with a 45-degree angle slope where you may need to grab on to a nearby tree branch or rope for an occasional helping hand
Continue your journey on the trail, experiencing a gradual even terrain followed by a short flat stretch of romantically mossy path before ascending once more. Inhale the fresh, crisp mountain air, attuned to specific bird calls, and remain vigilant for pitcher plants and other distinctive features along the trek. Don't forget to take a moment for a photo stop at the midway viewing point!
Stride proudly up the wooden stairs and take in the stunning view from 2,232 meters upon turning round the “corner” of the bushes to the summit clearing. If the weather favors you, the clear blue skies will herald the jagged grey peaks of Mount Kinabalu towering high above
Get teasing glimpses of the mountain in between the low-hanging clouds and perhaps a sneaky rainbow, if you're lucky! From another point of the Peak Platform, you may be able to spot the rolling green fields of Desa Cow Farm far below. Re-energize yourself with water and energy snacks as you soak in the peaceful ambiance and pleasing views
