Mount Kinabalu (Gunung Kinabalu/Akinabalu) dominates the island of Borneo in South East Asia. It stands poised in the East Malaysian state of Sabah, and is protected as Kinabalu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The best time is during the dryer seasons which falls around March to September. The weather is slightly unpredictable with passing showers expected all year round. The temperature at the summit drops to freezing point 0 °C – 3°C, whereas the trail from Timpohon to Panalaban basecamp ranges from 6 °C – 16 °C. Before the start of the climb, Kinabalu Park is around 15 °C – 26 °C.
It takes a minimum of 2 days and 1 night to scale Mount Kinabalu. Day 1 starts via Timpohon Gate where a 5 to 7 hour trek leads you to PanaLaban to stay for a night. Day 2 begins at 2am, where climbers will attempt the second ascent up to Low’s Peak to witness the specular sunrise from the highest summit point at 5.30am.
Afterwards, climbers will begin the descent towards PanaLaban (if not participating in any Via Ferrata activity) for check out. The descent continues down to Timpohon Gate. You will be transferred to Kinabalu Park HQ, where you will be given your climb certificate. Depart back to Kota Kinabalu City or other destination.
Singaporeans, Chinese, and Indians do not need visa to enter Malaysia as they are in the visa free list.
