Itinerary in brief
Day 1 : Kinabalu Park -Laban Rata
Day 2 : Departure
KINABALU NATIONAL PARK Easily
accessible from Kota Kinabalu, the Kinabalu National
Park provides a complex and varied ecological system
into a relatively small area. The Park extends from
1,588m above sea level to the summit of Mt. Kinabalu
at 4,095m (the highest peak in SE Asia) providing a
range of vegetation from cloud forest to mountain
forest to lowland forest. It was due to this rich
diversity of botanical treasures that the park was
recently granted World Heritage Status, along with
Mulu National Park, the first park in Malaysia. An
extensive network of jungle and mountain trails,
plus a wide range of accommodation available make
this a necessary part of any Sabah tour.
