The climb typically takes two days and one night, and starts in the early morning with a journey to the base of the mountain. From there, climbers will embark on a steep ascent up the mountain, with various checkpoints along the way to ensure that everyone is acclimatizing properly.

The climb is not for the faint of heart, as the terrain is rocky and steep, and the altitude can cause symptoms of altitude sickness. However, the rewards are well worth the effort. The views from the summit are truly awe-inspiring, with panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape stretching out as far as the eye can see.

Along the way, climbers will also encounter a diverse range of flora and fauna, from tropical forests to alpine meadows. The mountain is home to a variety of unique species, including the Kinabalu Giant Red Leech, which can only be found on the mountain.

Accommodation at Laban Rata Resthouse

Accommodations on the climb are basic but comfortable, with dormitory-style lodges and hot meals provided. The guides and porters are knowledgeable and friendly, providing valuable insights into the mountain and its history.

Overall, climbing Mount Kinabalu is an incredible experience that should not be missed. It requires physical fitness and mental determination, but the rewards are unparalleled. From the stunning views to the unique wildlife and the sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit, climbing Mount Kinabalu is an adventure that will stay with you for a lifetime.
