  • If you want to know what it's like to climb Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, then take a peek at our video. It was more challenging than you'd expect, with rough terrain and altitude to cope with. Sabah, Malaysia showed us an amazing mountain climbing experience. It was a great beginner climb to experience, but you still need some level of fitness.
    🇲🇾
    So if you're wondering what to do in Malaysia? Or what to do in Sabah, Borneo or Kota Kinabalu, we would highly recommend climbing Gunung Kinabalu (Mount Kinabalu.)

    About us:
    We are Mike and Serina. We love travel, adventure and fitness. One of our most memorable adventures was climbing #MtKinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia. Whilst there are travel restrictions in place, we have decided to take our #hiking adventures local, exploring what Perth and Western Australia have to offer. Join us as we go for weekly hikes and share our adventures.
    For those of you that have been following us for awhile, you will know that Serina was born in #Malaysia and we both love spending time there, visiting friends and family and immersing ourselves in the culture. We hope to go back there as soon as we can, so Mike has been spending time learning how to speak Bahasa Melayu.
    Kami adalah Mike dan Serina. Kami suka perjalanan, pengembaraan dan kecergasan. Salah satu pengembaraan kami yang paling berkesan ialah mendaki #MtKinabalu di Sabah, Malaysia. Walaupun terdapat sekatan perjalanan, kami telah memutuskan untuk melakukan pengembaraan #jalan kaki setempat, meneroka apa yang ditawarkan Perth dan Australia Barat. Sertailah kami semasa kami melakukan kenaikan mingguan dan berkongsi pengembaraan kami.
    Bagi anda yang telah mengikuti kami sebentar, anda akan tahu bahawa Serina dilahirkan di #Malaysia dan kami berdua suka menghabiskan masa di sana, melawat rakan dan keluarga dan melibatkan diri dalam budaya. Kami berharap dapat kembali ke sana secepat mungkin, jadi Mike telah meluangkan masa untuk belajar bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu.
    Terimah Kasih, jumpa lagi!

    Hello from Oregon, USA -- Thank-you very much for this beautifully produced and quite relaxing video hike up Mt. Kinabalu. In the Spring of 1978, I met up with a couple of friends from The Netherlands in Kota Kinabalu and we decided to climb Mt. Kinabalu before travelling to the eastern part of Sabah for a planned 2-month self-guided canoe trip up the Segama River. Tourism in Borneo wasn't really a thing 44 years ago, and aside from a day use shelter at the park entrance, there were no accommodations or other infrastructure for visitors. Climbs were self-guided on a sketchy, undeveloped trail up the mountain through pristine forest with an abundance of various pitcher plant species, with the only lodging being an unattended stone hut with wooden bunks to rest before the summit push. We stayed on the mountain for 3 days without seeing any other people, but upon returning to the park entrance, ran into a group of Nepali Gurkha soldiers preparing to climb the mountain. Stationed in Hong Kong but in Borneo for training, these elite members of the British Army were all ethnic Gurungs from the mountainous Annapurna region of the Himalayas in North-Central Nepal. Coincidentally, I had travelled to Borneo myself from that very region of Nepal, where I had lived and worked for 3 years in a remote, traditional Gurung village NW of Pokhara. I had left Nepal 1 month earlier and was on my way back to Oregon when I ended up in Borneo. So yeah, small world. Anyway, old guy here with lots of stories just missing the good old days and my youth. Thanks again for helping to bring up these memories of what was an adventurous and really fun time in my life. Best wishes.

      Probably a lot to do with CZcams and the ability to google everything now. I must admit I didn't think it would get that cold up there especially having lived in Malaysia for many years. It would have been a fair bit different in 2000, as that would have been before the earthquake - less stairs then too I've been told.

    I went to Sabah on July 2019 for my friend’s wedding. I didn’t have the chance to go to Kinabalu mountain. But I stayed in Kundasang somewhere on the hill side, and I could see all the hikers’ headlamp in Kinabalu at 2.00 am though it seemed far away from my place. Wish I could hike this mountain one day! Good vlog anyway! 👍🏻
