Tour Description:

Day 1 – Kota Kinabalu / Sinua Base Camp I

Gather at the pickup point at your hotel lobby and we will begin the grand adventure to conquer Mount Trus Madi! We will depart from Kota Kinabalu for the Base Camp at Kampung Sinua (Kg. Sinua) in the afternoon. Traversing through winding roads along the Crocker Range, you will get to experience the highest mountain range for an approximate 4 to 5 hours, travelling past Keningau and Sook before finally reaching Kg. Sinua in the late afternoon. We will stretch our travel-weary legs and proceed to settle at the Base Camp. A quick briefing will be given and we will turn in for the night in preparation for the arduous journey ahead.

Day 2 – Sinua Base Camp / Khiong Point Camp II

Rising with the sun (around 7:00 am), we will have a good breakfast before beginning the trek up to shelter camp II (Khiong Point/Hammock), a journey that would take an estimated 7 hours (7.4km). Upon arrival, you will have ample time to explore the area before hunkering down for the night.

Day 3 – Khiong Point Camp II / Trus Madi Summit

We will kickstart the day at 2:00 am with a quick breakfast before attempting to summit the Mount Trus Madi, touted as the second highest mountain in Malaysia. The journey will take an estimated 4-7 hours to hike up a distance of 4.2km. Here’s where your torchlight would come in handy—take a look around you to experience the biodiversity of the Mixed Dipterocarps as well as the Lower and Upper Montane Forest. With what little illumination you have, enjoy the wild orchids, pitcher plants found in abundance all around you. Take in a 360-degree view once you’re at the top before descending to Shelter II for a nice, warm lunch. Rest your weary feet and we will rest at the shelter for the night.

Day 4 – Base Camp / Kota Kinabalu

Rise bright and early at 7:00 am and replenish your energy with a good breakfast before trekking back to the Base Camp. You will then get on the coach to return to your hotel in Kota Kinabalu. Mount Trus Madi will be another feather in your cap, something to recount to eager listeners and certainly a fond memory!
