Kampung Kiau Jungle Trekking

Picture
Jungle trekking around Kampung Kiau in the foothills of the majestic Mount Kinabalu is not for the faint hearted! This trek will take you through dense forest, pineapple fields, steep mountainsides and finally to the lookout point where, on a sunny day, you’ll be greeted with a panoramic view of Mt Kinabalu. This day trip departing from Kota Kinabalu city is a great alternative or add on to a traditional trip to Mount Kinabalu and offers you the chance to immerse yourself in local ethnic Dusun  culture whilst testing yourself physically in the jungles of Borneo. Those that dare to venture off the beaten path will be rewarded with spectacular views (weather dependent!), beautiful jungle surroundings and maybe even a chance to sample one of the freshly grown pineapples in the village or see the locals tapping rubber trees in their traditional method.

Itinerary

Picture
Pick up around 6.30am from your accommodation in Kota Kinabalu to begin the scenic drive to Kiau Village in the foothills of Mt Kinabalu, if the weather is on your side you will be able to enjoy a great view of Mount Kinabalu along the way!
Once you arrive in Kiau Village you will meet your local guide and begin the two hour long hike to the summit of Nuluh Lingion (other hikes are available within the National Park upon request with at least 3 days notice). Along the way, you’ll walk through local farms where you can spot (and taste!) fresh pineapple, jackfruit, wild ginger, bananas and much more. You will then continue your hike through trails of primary forest up to the scenic lookout point.
Enjoy your packed lunch and a well deserved rest at the summit of Nuluh Lingion (1420 meters). Weather permitting, you’ll have panoramic views of Mount Kinabalu and it's waterfalls! After lunch, you’ll have your pick of four routes to descend back to the Kiau Village, all options include steep descents, traversing rivers, and beautiful jungle views.
Depending on your chosen route, you will arrive back at Kiau village in the mid to late afternoon for a chance to sample the local Dusun food at one of the local homestays before meeting your driver for the transfer back to  Kota Kinabalu city. Expected arrival time back in Kota Kinabalu is around 5pm to 6pm but this is traffic & trekking route dependent.
