It is many trekkers’ dream to trek up to Mount Kinabalu. Since my first time went trekking in Nepal, I've fall in love with trekking.

Therefore, it was my dream to trek in Mount Kinabalu too. It was so nice that my Hong Kong friend and I were able to make this trip together and we were able to reach the submit even though I was injure my left kneecap the day before we start our trekking. It was tiring but when we reached the top (4095.2M), the feeling was very happy and great.

When we reach the guest house (above 3000M) it was so beautiful scenic, the feeling is like we were in Heaven as the clouds were below your legs level, the sunset was beautiful too, I've seen many times sunset but not this one in Mount Kinabalu, it was really nice.

After came down from trekking, we were so tiring and we went for hot spring the next day. Taking the whole day to relaxing and walking in the park, the next day we catch a bus back to city.

Our activity did not stop there, we went for water rafting the next day, and after legs exercises and it was time for hands exercise. We had the 3 to 4 level water rafting, my HK friend was her first time playing water rafting and we enjoy so much.

Over all, we enjoy our trip, the only thing was wasted, my friend don't have time to stay longer, otherwise, we might go for diving activities as Sabah is one of the good spot for diving. Well, no choice, plan another diving trip the next time.

If you would like to go for the same trek, you may need to book the place to stay over night before they allow you to trek up, so do remember to book in advance. Here is the website to help you in planning your trip (http://www.suterasanctuarylodges.com/) .

It was a wonderful trek to reach the submit (Low's Peak) of 4095.2M in Sabah, Malaysia's first world heritage site, which conserves one of the richest assemblages of biological diversity and spectacular natural landscapes in tropical Southeast Asia.
