Day 3   : 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.
