3D2N Sabah Highland Wonders: Kinabalu Park, Desa Cow Farm, Poring Hot Springs & Sabah Tea Garden

Good morning! The day starts with a hotel pick-up before we head to Tamparuli Town. Immerse yourself in the laid-back atmosphere of the rustic town as you stroll across the iconic "Jambatan Tamparuli" suspension bridge.

The journey continues to the picturesque Nabalu Handicraft Market. Perched on a hillside, this market offers fresh produce, fruits, vegetables, and exquisite handmade souvenirs, as well as a stunning view of Mount Kinabalu.

Afterwards, we will go to Kundasang Farm Ville for a delicious lunch at Hooga Café.

Next, prepare to be awed as we journey to the Desa Cow Farm. Nestled at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu, this sprawling 199-hectare farm boasts lush green pastures where cattle graze, producing nearly a million litres of fresh milk annually. Here, you can get up close and personal with the cattle, bottle-feed the adorable calves, and indulge in fresh milk or yoghurt straight from the farm.

We will transfer you to Kundasang to check into your mountain resort. Enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure. Explore the resort, unwind, and settle in for a peaceful night's sleep.

Rise and shine! After breakfast, we will drive to Kinabalu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Global Geopark. The sprawling 754-square-kilometer park is home to Southeast Asia's highest peak, Mount Kinabalu, whose summit reaches an impressive height of 4,095.2 meters. Explore the park's incredible biodiversity—4,500 plant species, including 1,500 unique orchids (77 are endemic to the area) and a dazzling array of birds and butterflies.

Savour a delectable lunch at a local restaurant nestled amidst the lush greenery of Kinabalu Park. 

After lunch, we will visit Poring Hot Springs. Here, go on a 20-minute hike to reach the Canopy Treetop Walk, suspended 60 meters above the vibrant rainforest canopy. Then, soothe your muscles in the natural, Japanese-style hot springs. Surrounding gardens provide a tranquil ambience, and a cold-water pool is available for those who prefer a refreshing dip. 

As the day winds down, we will head to the peaceful Sabah Tea Garden Cottage, nestled 700 meters above sea level near Mount Kinabalu. Enjoy a delicious dinner at the Sabah Tea Restaurant & Tea Shop before a restful night's sleep.

Good morning! Enjoy your breakfast before going on a guided tea plantation and factory tour. Learn the meticulous process of organic, pesticide-free tea cultivation, from harvesting to brewing, all while surrounded by the serene mountain breeze and the calming melody of the songbirds.

Check out from your accommodation before we head to Kampung Marakau for the Fish Foot Spa. Dip your feet into specially designed pools and let the friendly fish nibble away dead skin cells, providing a unique and rejuvenating exfoliation experience.

After a day of exploration and a satisfying lunch at a local restaurant, make your way back to your Kota Kinabalu hotel.
