About Mount Kinabalu National Park
Borneo’s Mount Kinabalu National Park is home to the famed Mount Kinabalu. At 4,101 meters, the mount is the highest on Borneo and the twentieth-highest peak in the world. Most of the peaks at Mount Kinabalu are restricted to experienced climbers. The 4,095-metre Low's Peak is sole the exception. It is a good hike for adventure tourists who are reasonably fit.
Don’t MissThere are two starting points for the trail leading up to the top of Low’s Peak. They converge at Laban Rata. There are a number of hotels near Mount Kinabalu National Park close to the south side and the trails. The majority of people making the climb spend the night at hostels in Laban Rata.
Climbing and hiking are not the only attractions on a trip to Mount Kinabalu. This region of the Crocker Range is a UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site and home to numerous plant and animal species. Spotting orang-utans in the distance or seeing Rafflesia plants are visitor highlights. On the edge of the park, tourists can bathe in hot springs, take a stroll along a treetop walkway, and visit an orchid farm.
