Cool views of Mount Kinabalu from Jabez sanctuary. A 90 min drive from Kota Kinabalu city in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia #lifeatexpediagroup
Descending from the summit of Mount Kinabalu shortly after sunrise.
Up and up and up we go... 6km hike up from the base to Pendant Hut which is still 2.7km from the summit
