Step-by-Step Terrain of Mount Kinabalu:
From Summit to Sayat Sayat
- This is the most beautiful stretch of the climb
- Be careful of your steps and walk slowly. It is quite easy to slip and fall on the trail during downhill walk, especially when the scenery is so beautiful
- Follow the white rope
Walk slowly |
Grand view |

From Sayat Sayat to Laban Rata
- Watch out for time. Breakfast buffet at Laban Rata closes at 10.00am. So make sure you return to Laban Rata before 10am
- This is the part that you need to pull the rope during the ascending climb at night. Now you can see how beautiful the view is
Right after Sayat Sayat |
You can see Laban Rata Resthouse at the bottom. But it is still quite a long way to reach Laban Rata. |
You can't see this at night when you climb up. This is the stretch after Sayat Sayat before reaching Laban Rata during your descent. |
Very near to Laban Rata now. |
From Laban Rata to Kinabalu Park
- Leave Laban Rata as early as possible. Chances of rain is higher at the later part of the day.
