| Welcome to the Mount Kinabalu photo gallery. Here you'll find a selection of Mount Kinabalu pictures I took on visits between 1st to 5th October 2004. Mt Kinabalu, which lies in Sabah in northern Borneo, at 4100m is the highest peak between the Himalayas and Papua New Guinea. Despite its height it is very easy to climb and does not require any special equipment or training. Anybody with sufficient stamina can climb the mountain The climb begins at the Timpohon gate (1866 m altitude) and climbers usually make it to the Laban Rata resthouse at 3300 m on day one. Most of the climbers leave the next morning between 3am and 4am in order to reach the summit at 6am to experience the spectacular sunrise. It's important not to arrive to early on the summit, to avoid freezing in the cold night waiting for the sunrise. |
