The majestic Mount Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia standing at 4095.2 metres.
There are two trails to get to the top, Summit Trail and Mesilau Trail. While you do not need special skills to climb, you must at least have the basic fitness level. Both trails offer fantastic view and the opportunity to encounter amazing plants.
Apart from traditional mountain climbing, visitors can also experience the Mountain Torq, the world’s highest and Asia’s first Via Ferrata or ‘iron road’ at 3,200m to 3,800m above sea level. The various routes on the northern rock faces of Mount Kinabalu consist of a ‘trail’ that is made up of iron rungs, palettes, cables and rails. Depending on the preferred difficulty level, visitors can enroll in various activities such as the intro to single pitch or multi pitch sports climbing, intro to rappelling (abseiling) and introduction to rope ascending.
