Mount Kinabalu Tours & Trips
Think you can handle Southeast Asia's highest peak? Mount Kinabalu rises to 4,095 meters in Malaysian Borneo—challenging but doable if you're reasonably fit. You climb through jungle that gradually transitions to alpine terrain, overnight in mountain huts, then summit before dawn for sunrise views across Borneo. The photos will be amazing; your memories? Unforgettable.

The tour was fantabulous! Great sights, great food, excellent tour guides are ingredients for an unforgettable experience. Close encounters with wildlife in the primeval forest of Borneo as well as the mangrove forest in Langkawi are second to none; the boat rides with the help of local guides make for a thrilling adventure. Complementing the awesome nature discovery is the cultural immersion in the distinct cities of Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Georgetown and Langkawi. A candid preview of Malaysia at its awesome best in two weeks! It is hands-down one of the best uses of one's time, energy, money.
