Mount Kinabalu is located in East Malaysia state of Sabah, which is on the island of Borneo. Although Mount Kinabalu is the third tallest mountain in South East Asia, behind Hkakabo Razi of Myanmar (Burma) and Puncak Jaya of New Guinea – Indonesia but it’s still known as the most prominent mountain in South East Asia and ranked 20th in the World !!

In 1997, a re-survey using satellite technology established its summit (known as Low’s Peak) height at 4,095 metres (13,435 feet) above sea level, which is some 6 metres less than the previously thought and hitherto published figure of 4,101 metres (13,455 feet).

The main peak of the mountain (Low’s Peak) can be relatively easy to climb by a person in good physical condition, and requires no mountaineering equipment. Other peaks along the massif, however, require rock climbing skills.

The reason why i developed this website is to share my experiences and guide any of you that would like to climb the mountain. I only climbed Mount Kinabalu once with my wife in early April 2007. It’s such a great experience!!! We’re not active climbers..although I have climbed a few mountains such as Ledang, Jerai and Nuang in Peninsular Malaysia about 10 years ago… but my wife has never climbed any mountain yet. She’s not an athletic type of person but she decided to take Kinabalu as the challenge on her first attempt to climb a mountain. It’s almost unbelievable for me when she expressed her desire to climb Mount Kinabalu.

Before we started our journey to conquer Mount Kinabalu, we’ve received a lot of advice from our friends that have already been there. However, most of the advice seemed to be demoralizing both of us. Its always sounded difficult..so we had to buy a lot of extra stuff just to make sure we didn’t face any problem just like what they told us. However, most of it were useless and a waste of money!!! So, after going back from our trip, we decide to develop this website to give you our most sincere guide and tips on how to climb Mount Kinabalu based on our own experience.

Finally, this guide is actually an easy guide by unexperienced couple that already conquered Mount Kinabalu by hiking 8.72km from Kinabalu Park to Low’s Peak with a total time exactly 8 hours!!!
