Kota Kinabalu Escalada

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.

Solo climb mount kinabalu with one guide. Paid more but had a wonderful experience and everything goes smoothly.

Because the weather was good, I didn't use hiking poles at all. I honestly don't think it's a very difficult mountain to climb, though some sections require very large steps, so hiking poles would make it a bit easier. The temperature on the mountain is lower in the early morning, so remember to wear a jacket when you go up! From the summit, you can see the full view of the sacred mountain bathed in sunlight, which is incredibly beautiful. If I have the chance, I'd love to experience watching the sunrise. If needed, you can also rent wooden hiking poles at the base of the mountain for 3 Malaysian Ringgit each.

Great hiking experience! Our guide was punctual, very patient with my mum, and always made sure we felt safe throughout the journey. Really appreciated the care and professionalism—made the whole trip enjoyable and stress-free.
