Climbing Mount Kinabalu was, is, and always will be a glorious adventure for visitors of Sabah to experience!
Moving on, as expected of the strong will and determination that characterises both Sabah’s people and its iconic national landmark, Mount Kinabalu will not only open its trail once again but also introduce a basic via Ferrata mountain climbing activity. The 50m route of fixed cables and ladders is situated right next to Pendant Hut, located at the Laban Rata plateau!
Things are really looking up so soon, and for those daredevil adventurers they can look down for an added thrill!
Our Sabah Travel Centre are offering a promotion for clients to enjoy one of Sabah’s most unforgettable challenges in our ‘Land Below The Wind’:
