The climb was physically very challenging, but provided a great sense of achievement and the views at the top were absolutely breathtaking.

  What will the weather be like at end of July early August
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2025
  This tour does not include an arrival transfer. It can be pre-booked through us for $15 per person (shared between two people). We cannot say for certain what the speed of the hiking will be everyday but we can note the following about the hike plan per day. The guide will set the pace for the group and will be aware of needing to go quicker or slower depending on itinerary timing and/or the groups' needs. - Hike Day 1= 5-7hrs, 8km, at 3,272m elevation - Hike Day 2 = summit for sunrise for 3-4hrs and then decline at 5-7hrs. July to Sept are the wetter months in Kota Kinabalu. August tends to be the peak for rainfall, with heavy but often short-lived afternoon storms. Expect humidity to be high, and temperatures around 29–31°C (84–88°F).
