Day 1 : Kota Kinabalu - Summit Trail

Early morning transfer from the city, along the way you will be able to enjoy the scenic villages, padi fields and occasional view of Mount Kinabalu. At Kinabalu Park Headquarters, register and meet your mountain guide. You will be transferred to Timpohon Gate where you start your trail to the summit. As you trek through the lush forest, make sure you check out the many species of nepenthes, orchids and montane birds which are endemic to Sabah. Observe the changes from a tropical rainforest to a montane forest as you ascend. Stop at Laban Rata (3272.7m) in the late afternoon where you will stay the night. Stretch out your tired muscles, have an early rest after dinner.
