Kinabalu Park

Kinabalu Park
Kinabalu Park, the entrance to Mt Kinabalu, is located at 1,585 metres
above sea level and is the main starting point for the summit trail
that leads to the top of Mt Kinabalu. Its covers an area of 754 sq km
and is made up of Mount Kinabalu, Mount Tambayukon and the foothills.
.
It was gazetted to preserve this valuable natural environment. The
mountains have a fascinating geological history, taking 'just' a
million years to form. The mighty Mount Kinabalu is actually a granite
massif that was later thrust upwards through the crust of the surface.
.
Subsequent erosion removed thousands of feet of the overlying sand and
mud stone, exposing this massif. During the Ice Age, glaciers running
across the summit smoothed it out, but the jagged peaks that stood out
above the ice surface remained unaffected, retaining the extremely
ragged surfaces. This rugged mountain is the focal point of the
National Park.
.
Key Tips
If you plan to climb the mountain, be sure to bring a head torch for
the early morning climb to the summit which starts in utter darkness
and cold weather gear. The summit temperatures have been known to dip
to below freezing! Climbing Mt Kinabalu is a different experience for
each person, but what makes most people succeed above all, is
perseverance.

.
How to get there
By Taxi Car rentals can be arranged through major hotels in Kota
Kinabalu. Taxis go to Park HQ at Ranau and take a maximum of four
passengers. You can negotiate for the taxi to pick you up from Park HQ
for your return if you hire the whole taxi. By BusAll express and

comment
My experience is to reccomend you to use sky train to go there, its
really nice and trhilling experience for me who never on a sky train
before. To save cost you should use this transportation to reach the
highland. But if you bring a big luggage, or bag, the queuing will
kills you.

Malaysia in Brief

To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia. A bubbling, bustling melting pot
of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other
ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony.

Multiculturalism has not only made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise,
it has also made Malaysia home to hundreds of colourful festivals.
It's no wonder that we love celebrating and socialising. As a people,
Malaysians are very laid back, warm and friendly.

Geographically, Malaysia is as diverse as its culture.Malaysia is
divided into 13 states and 3 Federal Territories, separated by the
South China Sea with 11 states and 2 federal territories (Kuala Lumpur
and Putrajaya) in Peninsular Malaysia and two states and 1 federal
territory (Labuan) in East Malaysia.

One of Malaysia's key attractions is its extreme contrasts. Towering
skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts, and
five-star hotels sit several metres away from ancient reefs.Cool
hideaways are found in the highlands that roll down to warm, sandy
beaches and rich, humid mangroves.

For the perfect holiday full of surprises, eclectic cultures and
natural wonders, the time is now, the place is Malaysia
