What a beautiful world..

"One of the most beautiful mountains in the world"

 "A really fascinating climb"

 This are some of the common descriptions used to comment on the climb up Mount Kinabalu. A better way perhaps to describe the climb is to perhaps say that "It is the most climbable difficult mountain in the world" because although it is high and relatively tough, any ordinary person who is quite fit and very determined can make it to the summit.

At almost 4,093 meters or 13,430 feet, Mount Kinabalu is South-East Asia's highest mountain. The sense of accomplishment as you scale Mount Kinabalu makes the climb extra special.


Additionally, the natural wonders that 'burst' into sight as you climb across three vegetation types cut across terrain that contains :

 almost half of the world's flowering plants,

more than 1,500species of orchids,

more than 400 species of butterflies (Great britain has only about 50 species),

 more than 150 species of montane birds

and 9 species of pitcher plant (& still counting),

many different species of rhododendrons, oaks & other exotic vegetation makes the climb unique & unforgettable.
