Mount Kinabalu is the highest peak in South East Asia. Kinabalu National Park
offers a rich array of flora and fauna and the walk takes you through this botanical
paradise. The park boasts the Rafflesia, the worlds largest flowering plant,
pitcher plants and many bird species. At Laban Rata we prepare for the mountain
climb. Continuing through the foothills we make our early morning attempt and
reach the peak at 4,101m before sunrise, taking in the magnificent views across
North East Borneo and the Philippines. You need to be fairly fit with good boots
and though this is a non-technical climb it will be hot and humid.

Mount Kinabalu - Important Information:

Any references to availability or non availability of
tours which include the trek to the summit of Mt Kinabalu, listed beside the
departure dates on our website, should be treated as a guide only. Whilst Kumuka
endeavours to keep this information as current as possible please keep in mind
that the availability of beds at the Resthouses on the mountain is limited,
and can change rapidly, and we cannot guarantee availability for the trek.
To be permitted to climb to the summit of Mt Kinabalu, you must have
a confirmed bed at one of the Resthouses, and the number of beds is obviously
limited. Whilst we will endeavour to organise this for you, this is subject
to availability and is not guaranteed. At certain times of year, beds are available
within a few weeks of departure, however, in peak season these can be sold out
several months in advance. Within 2 months of a departure, all bookings are
on a request basis only, and it cannot be guaranteed that we will be able to
confirm the booking.
Before we can apply for your place on the mountain, we will require your full
name, passport number, nationality and date of birth, as well as the tour deposit,
or full payment if the tour departs within 30 days.
In the event that spaces are unavailable, your travel consultant will advise
you of any alternatives. If you are considering a tour that includes the trek
to the summit of Mt Kinabalu book early to avoid disappointment. This information
is correct at the time of writing.
