Mt.Kinabalu

personal experience...

I haven't climbed it yet. Coming soon. I stayed at Kinabalu national park in early 2012, to take photographs and research my upcoming ecosystem guides book: "Tropical Rainforest of south-east Asia".

access...

This is the most famous apsect of Kinabalu National park.

At over 4000 metres, it is the highest mountain in south-east Asia; to get to higher mountains you continue south east to New Guinea, or north west to Nepal.

The whole walk usually takes several days in different stages.

It is getting more and more expensive, but from what I can hear, you can get a package tour for about 1000 ringit (U$300) in Kota Kinabalu.

As this is such a large national park with many access points, there are other natural areas of interest to visit, such as Mesilau, at an even higher altitude, and Poring Hot Springs, at much lower altitude.
