Option 1 (For Climbers)

Day 1

An early morning drive northward, traversing the Crocker Range with panoromic views of the surrounding countryside. A brief stop at a native market and onto the Park for check-in. This nature-lover's retreat is home to a wide range of unspoilt flora and fauna. Visit the Exhibit Centre and Mountain Garden to learn about some of Mother Nature's miracles, or explore the many graded trails. Overnight at the Park Headquarters (photo size: 65KB).

Day 2

After breakfast, proceed to register for the climb up to the summit. Transfer to Timpohon Gate (photo size: 59KB) to begin the climb. No special mountaineering skills are required but a certain level of physical fitness is essential. A tough hike through the changing forest scene will end at Laban Rata (photo size: 39KB) for the night. Overnight accommodation is in dormitories.

Day 3

The summit trek begins in the dark hours of the morning in time to catch the sunrise if weather permits. A pantomime of shapes, forms and colours is an experience not to be missed. Begin descent before the morning mist rolls in. Breakfast at Laban Rata and continue to the Park where successful climbers will receive a certificate to prove their conquest. After lunch and a short rest, depart for Kota Kinabalu at 4.00 pm.
