Mt. Kinabalu, Malaysia

Displayed:   times.

Sumit of Borneo
Imagine being surrounded by wonders of natureÂ’s lush garden dating from the dawn of time. Stand at the highest summit of Borneo as dawn peeks over the horizon to reveal SabahÂ’s splendours far and wide. Reflect the quiet, sacred moment when you experience the most magnificent sunrise of your lifetime.

Mt Kinabalu rising from the mist

Stroll amidst the treetops at the rainforest canopy walk and gaze up close at centuries-old wonders. Soak in the healing balm of a magic spring as colourful butterflies flutter around you. Admire the worldÂ’s largest flower at your feet. Or lunch next to plants that lunch on insects.

You’ll find it all in the Kinabalu Park – Malaysia’s first World Heritage designated by UNESCO in December 2000 for its “outstanding universal values” and role as one of the world’s most important biological sites.

The focal point of the park of course is the majestic Mt. Kinabalu. Such is the importance of this mountain to Sabah that the capital was renamed Kota Kinabalu (Kinabalu Fort) in 1964. The highest mountain between the Himalayas and the Snow Mountains of Papua Barat (New Guinea Island), this magnificent granite massif stands at 4,095.2m (13,435 ft) tall.

How to get there

Kota Kinabalu-the international gateway to the rest of Sabah-has direct flights to and from the main capitals in the region, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Kaoshiung, Tokyo, Seoul, Brunei and Manila.
