Kinabalu National Park, home to the magnificent Mount Kinabalu, is also Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site. While the main attraction of Kinabalu Park is, of course, the climb up to Mount Kinabalu, the park also offers many hiking trails by the base of the mountain.
With its peak soaring up to 4095.2 meters above sea level, Mount Kinabalu is the most iconic representation of Sabah, and definitely the renowned mountain across the country. While it is considered as challenging, the ever popular Mount Kinabalu is one of the very conquerable peaks in the world.
At 3776 meters, Mount Kinabalu via ferrata was verified by Guinness World Record as the highest via ferrata in the world. Via ferrata is the Italian word for ‘Iron Path’, it is a protected mountain path with cables and metal rungs installed along the rockface.

There are quite a few hiking trails in the park, which are short but quite nice. The signs are not quite clear, so it is better to download hiking trail map app. We hike the tupai and burung trail..
A garden in Kinabalu Park, entrance fee is RM 4. The garden is pretty well maintained, with quite some interesting flowers and plants.
Back for our hotel breakfast, is very good with a lot to eat (cereal, toast and main meal) in a nice environment.
Enjoy some local hawker food.
Come for the view and enjoy a afternoon tea with scones (RM 30 for 2 person).
A natural fish spa by the river. The fishes are fairly big, so the spa experience could be quite "brutal". There are a lot of fishes, with 3 species, and there are very human friendly. Buy some..
