Location
Mount Kinabalu is a renowned mountain in South East Asia and Borneo’s tallest mountain. Situated in Kinabalu Park in state of Sabah 80 kilometres east of Kota Kinabalu, Mount Kinabalu has a summit (Low’s Peak) of 4095 metres above sea level.
About the Climb
Mount Kinabalu is one of the most accessible mountains in the world which does not require any special climbing skills; however, it would be recommended for people with a good physical condition.
Weather
During the rainy season (typically towards the end of the year in November and December), the climbing conditions can get slightly dangerous as the higher slopes may be slippery and more difficult to climb. During this period, dense fog has also been known to reduce visibility. More suitable timing for the climbs would be around the month of April whereby the temperatures are typically between 20-25⁰C around the low lying areas and approaches much colder temperatures with higher altitudes. It is advisable to bring warmer clothing for the ascent.
