The fastest way to climb Mount Kinabalu! Set off early from Kota Kinabalu and be on your way up the trail from Timpohon Gate by 10am. Spend a night at Laban Rata Resthouse before beginning your summit attempt in the (very!) early hours of the morning. Return to your accommodation for breakfast then descend back to Timpohon gate where lunch awaits in the park. Return to Kota Kinabalu for a hot shower and much deserved rest!
If you are planning to travel on to Sepilok or Sandakan after your climb, you can stay overnight in or nearby the park and catch our West to East Shuttle the following day at 9am. Ask us about adding on 1 night in Kinabalu Park for only RM100 per person inclusive of dinner & breakfast! |
The adventure begins with pick-up around 6:30 am in Kota Kinabalu (depending on accommodation and other guests) and proceed to Kinabalu Park traversing the Crocker Range with panoramic views of the surrounding hills; the focal point of which is Mt Kinabalu. Upon arrival to Mount Kinabalu Park Headquarters (estimated 8:30-9:00 am), collect your packed lunch and register for your Mount Kinabalu summit climb. Meet your guide and transfer to Timpohon Gate (1,829m), from here you will begin your climb to Laban Rata (3,353 m), your accommodation for the evening. Along the way to your accommodation, you will pass through four different elevation zones each with their own distinctive vegetation. Keep your eye out for the famous pitcher-plants or the cheeky Kinabalu Mountain shrews, endemic to Mount Kinabalu. The average time to get to Laban Rata (Panar Laban) will take about 5 hours; this may vary depending on stops and your fitness level. Upon arrival, check into your accommodation for the evening and rest before your buffet dinner where you can enjoy the sunset from above the clouds. Once you finished, head to bed for an early night’s sleep after a long day of climbing. Meals: Packed Lunch and Buffet Dinner |
