Escalada do Monte Kinabalu pela Trilha Timpohon com Guia Particular

Everything was very well arranged and organized, from the pick-up until the end of the hike. The accommodation lodge at Kinabalu Park was fantastic. The hike was quite tough, especially the one at 2:30 AM to the summit. We had to pay extra to the guide and for transport back to the accommodation as we exceeded the stipulated time.

神山道路原始，但管理完善，很安全。前7公里，每公里都设有休息亭和厕所。最后两公里比较考验体力和耐力。登顶后，一览众山小，很有成就感。另外，Timpohon 富有经验，安排合理。第二天我们超过6pm才返回公园总部，但仍安排了免费中巴送我们返回市区。

Wow! What a seamless experience! Borneo Calling did a great job organizing this hike for us. We were pleased with everything including the two-way transfer to KT City and Mt. Kinabalu. Not to mention our mountain guide, Hafisz. He was amazing! Just a note: Please be a responsible hiker and train for this mountain at least 2 months in advance if you are not a very active person. Include lots of cardio and Stairmaster workouts so that you won't suffer! I saw too many people break their bones or sprain their ankles. And some simply couldn't summit. This mountain requires a lot of stamina and leg strength!

The tour company Borneo Calling was incredibly well-organized! Mei, our point of contact, provided timely updates and checks to ensure everything ran smoothly. On the day we arrived at the Kinabalu Lodges, check-in was seamless, and the rooms were very clean! On the day of the hike, we were introduced to our mountain guide, Sofian. He was so kind and encouraging throughout our ascent and descent. It was clear that safety was the top priority during the entire hike. The weather wasn't ideal; there was heavy rain on the first day as we hiked up to Panalaban, and we were informed that if the rainy weather persisted, the hike to the peak might be canceled. Fortunately, the rain cleared, though it remained cloudy at the summit. We were also frequently reminded to look out for signs and symptoms of altitude sickness, which was very important. The hike up to Low's Peak is challenging but absolutely worth it. Highly recommended! Still, it's not an easy hike.

It was challenging throughout the 2 days but worthwhile when I managed to reach the summit with the motivation from fellow hikers. Mei from Borneo Calling was the organizer for this climb, she did a fantastic job to ensure everything was sorted right from the start to the end!!!

Climbing the mountain required a lot of stamina and perseverance, but thanks to the beautiful scenery, the trekking friends from various countries, and the guide, I felt immense happiness and fulfillment. The pickup, drop-off, meals, and amenities were all satisfactory. Unfortunately, due to rain, the summit was closed and I couldn't conquer it, but I wasn't too disappointed as I felt I had pushed past my limits. I would love to try again next time.

Everything was perfect, but the guide was rushing. We go for the experience, but the guide was like, "just run to the summit and go back ASAP." I completed the day one trek in 5.5 hours against a cutoff time of 7 hours and the summit push within 2.5 hours, but whenever I stopped to click pictures, rest, and drink water, the guide (Linus) used to say, "you look unfit for the summit, do you want to go back?" I have done many Himalayan treks much more difficult than this, so hearing this from the guide was not expected. It’s the responsibility of a guide to motivate trekkers, not to demotivate them. I don’t know why he was in such a hurry. Everything else, like the stay, food, trail, etc., was so good, but he spoiled my experience, so I can’t give 5 stars.

La réservation d'un guide de montagne et d'autres services peut être effectuée le matin même si vous vous y prenez à la dernière minute. Dans l'ensemble, ce fut une excellente expérience et j'ai eu la chance d'avoir un guide de montagne très patient pour faire la randonnée avec moi. Le repas fourni est très bon et bien équilibré. Assurez-vous de voyager léger et je recommande toujours les bâtons, cela aide les genoux à la descente.

We participated in the 3-day, 2-night package. The first day's farm itinerary was too monotonous, and Poring Hot Spring also lacked appeal, making it feel like a wasted day. For a hiking traveler, it was too dull. I believe arranging snorkeling or seeing proboscis monkeys would be more attractive. The two-day hiking arrangement was very satisfying. The seamless round-trip transportation was convenient for travelers, and the driver was punctual and friendly. The mountain guide was very patient and able to match the pace of the travelers, making everyone feel comfortable. The mountain hut and meals were also excellent. Overall, we were very satisfied with Borneo Calling, the organizer. However, the Mount Kinabalu trek is by no means easy. In addition to adapting to high altitude, a certain level of physical fitness is required, and some sections require using both hands and feet. If it rains, the steep granite sections at the summit can be slightly slippery. We hope participants prepare themselves well, and we also hope Klook provides more tips to travelers regarding the difficulty of the climb.

Everything was so amazing - signed up to hike by myself and ended with a private guide, Otong. Otong was helpful in navigating the way and I’ve got him to thank to make it all the way to the top! 3D2N includes day trip and a night stay at Poring Hotspring which was so amazing! food was great and I thoroughly enjoyed myself over the last three days.
