Day 1 - Kota Kinabalu/ Kinabalu Park HQ/ Timpohon Gate/ Ascend Mount Kinabalu/ Lemaing Dormitory

Wake up, get up and pack up your belongings first thing in the morning. You will first be picked up from your hotel lobby before departing for Kinabalu Park Headquarter on a two hours’ ride to collect your packed lunch. After collecting your grub, continue registering yourself for the climb before going on the actual hike. From there on, your guide will help you settle the administrative matter including filling in the registrations, assigning you a mountain guide and applying for your ID Tag, the latter of which must be worn at all times.

With that settled, you will be transferred to the starting point Timpohon Gate to start your climb. Strap up and get pumped up as you climb Mount Kinabalu, Borneo’s highest mountain. The track will allow you to pass and experience different hiking terrain ranging from Oak and Chestnut to mossy and alpine vegetation terrain. Along the way, be sure to exercise caution as you make your way up as the air can get thinner the higher you go. However, you will also be happy to know that the mountain allows for a panoramic view of the horizon from atop. Breathe in the fresh air as you toil away with each step knowing it is getting closer to your end goal. Once you reach a height of 3,230 m, you will check into Panalaban Assorted Hut where you will be spending the night. By then, it will be late afternoon so do not forget about your packed lunch! To reward your day’s effort, there will be a buffet dinner at Laban Rata restaurant before you retire for the day at your hut.

Day 2 - Low's Peak / Descend Mount Kinabalu / Kota Kinabalu

The day starts early - really early. Waking up at 2:00 A.M. in the morning, you will go and continue your journey to the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Why so early? Because the summit packs a surprise for the early worm! At 4,095 m high, the Low’s Peak will give you prime position to witness the sunrise at the dawn of the day, weather permitting of course. After the picturesque sunrise, head back to Panalaban for a late breakfast and check yourself out before trekking back down to Timpohon Gate and transferring back to Kinabalu Park Headquarter.

There, you will be awarded with your own Certificate of Achievement for conquering Borneo’s highest peak as buffet lunch is served to commemorate your achievement at Balsam Restaurant. Then, head back to Kota Kinabalu on a 2 hours’ journey as you conclude your exciting hiking journey.
