Bagging It!

The highest point on the island of Borneo, Kinabalu is one of the most popular hikes in Asia. Its popularity is partly due to its accessibility from nearby Kota Kinabalu airport and also due to the fact that there are many official guides and information is far more readily available online than for Indonesian peaks of a similar height. It is situated in the Kinabalu National Park and you must take an official guide with you. Camping is not allowed and you must book hut accommodation well in advance.
The two main starting points for the ascent are Timpohon Gate and Mesilau Nature Resort.
The highest point is known as Low’s Peak, named after Sir Hugh Low, Colonial Briths Secretary, who climbed the mountain in 1851.
