Mt. Kinabalu, standing at 4,095.2m. (13,436 ft) above sea level, is the highest
mountain in southeast Asia. Its foothills and surroundings has an incredible
diversity of flora and fauna. The Kinabalu Park covers an area of 754 sq.
km. (291 sq.ml.) with an altitude range up to the summit of Mt. Kinabalu
thus encompassing the five main vegetation zones. The Park has become
the focus of naturalists and nature lovers.
The tour to the Kinabalu Park leaves Kota Kinabalu via the Tuaran highway,
driving past small towns and scattered villages. This 2-hour ride also
traverses the Crocker Range with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
A photostop and a quick visit to the Nabalu native market are also
scheduled.
Note: A light jacket, raincoat and walking shoes are recommended
