Mountains in Sabah & Sarawak Gunung Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia at 4095m is located in Kinabalu Park, Sabah. It is accessible to all trekkers. The Summit Trail leading to Low's Peak is equipped with clear paths and ropes to climb steep rocky sections. Exotic plant life such as the Necklace Orchid can be seen on the climb. Gunung Trusmadi is reached by a difficult week long climb through mossy forest, steep hills and rain swollen rivers. Upon reaching the summit, you will be rewarded with one of the best views of Gunung Kinabalu and a chance to see the remarkably large and rare pitcher plants only found on the ridges of Trusmadi. Other mountains can be climbed in two days as long as you are fit enough to tackle the steep terrain. Gunung Santubong is one of the most popular mountains in Sarawak with its spectacular view of Kuching. Guides will be needed on the tough trek to Sarawak's Gunung Penrissen. The 60 metre vertical scramble to the top can be completed in a day or two. The long uphill walk to the sandstone summit of Gunung Mulu takes four days and passes through primary jungle, swampy patches and clumps of colourful rhododendrons before the white clouds disperse to reveal the massive limestone outcropping of Gunung Api just across the valley. |
