Tour Code : TBKI/SUM-MI-A02G
Itinerary :
Day 01: Singapore - Kota Kinabalu

Depart by scheduled flight to Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah, also known as 'The Land Below the Wind'. Upon arrival, meet by out representative and transfer to the hotel of your choice.
Day 02: Conquer Mount Kinabalu (Breakfast, Packed Lunch, Dinner)

After breakfast, take a scenic drive passing through rich padi fields and rustic villages over the ridges of the Crocker Range to the foothills of Mt Kinabalu at 5,000ft to arrive at the park headquarters at Kundasang to register for your climb. Thereafter, transfer back to Timphohon Gate located at 1866m above sea level, which is the starting point of the Summit Trail. The 4 - 6 hours of guided trek will bring you through various vegetation zones, steep staircase, gnarled tree-roots to mossy world of drifting clouds and orchid draped trees, where pitcher plants and rhododendrons abound. Located at 3335m above sea level is Laban Rata Resthouse, where you will have your deserving night sleep (dormitory style bunk beds with heater, common bathroom, hot water).
Day 03: Mount Kinabalu - Kota Kinabalu (Breakfast, Lunch)

At about 3am in the morning, you will begin your final ascend of the Summit of Borneo - the Low's Peak at 4095m. Along the trail to the summit, you will be amazed with the incredible mountain backdrop of teeth and fangs, gully, precipice, cliff, plateau, gorge, peak, projectile and dwarfed vegetation at this altitude contrast sharply with the enormous silver black dome of the summit. As you wait in the cold at the summit, dawn gradually creeps over the horizon, illuminating the darkness with the light of the new day. By 6am, you will be able to clearly see most of the magnificent peaks and this usually is the best time to take some memorable pictures. Make sure you descend down to Laban Rata Resthouse for check-out following breakfast. Start climbing down at 10am and you should arrive at Timphohon Gate at about 1pm, pick-up and transfer to the park headquarters here you will be given a colorful certificate (only if you reach the summit). After lunch, you will be picked up at about 4pm for transfer to Kota Kinabalu hotel (same as your choice in Day 1).
