Description

Embark on an unforgettable hiking adventure to Sabah's famous UNESCO World Heritage Mount Kinabalu. If you can only visit one place on Borneo that exemplifies the island to its very best, then it has to be Mount Kinabalu. A World Heritage Site, Mount Kinabalu is well-known worldwide for its tremendous botanical and biological species biodiversity with plants of Himalayan, Australasian, and Indomalayan origin. No visit to Borneo is complete without a trekking expedition to the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Your climbing package includes mountain guide, meals, and accommodation. Sample itinerary below:
