Mount Kinabalu

About Mount Kinabalu

Hailed as one of the world’s most prominent peaks and epic hikes, Mount Kinabalu escalates from sea level to 4095.2 metres and permeates mystery, legends, and otherworldly sights along the way. As the focal point of Kinabalu Park, Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site and newly designated Global Geopark, climbers from around the globe flock to Mount Kinabalu to conquer Low’s Peak summit – one of the safest and most conquerable peaks in the world – through distinct climatic zones on this stiff physical activity.

Fondly known as Aki Nabalu by the Kadazan-Dusun natives of Sabah, its name is translated to “the revered place of the dead” which stems from various legends and myths passed down through generations.

Owing to its unprecedented and diverse ecology, the hike from jungles tropics, through oak woodlands, and onwards to the rocky mountaintop make it an advantageous journey through one of nature’s last equatorial paradise.
