Mount Kinabalu is situated in the State of Sabah, Malaysia. It is the tallest mountain between New Guinea and the Himalayans and reigns over an astonishing variety of scenery. While the lower reaches of the mountain serve as a botany fanatic’s dream, it is the upper reaches that captured the hearts and imaginations of climbers with spectacular views.
Mount Kinabalu is one of the most accessible peak and no specialized mountain climbing skills are required to ascend it. Every year, about 200, 000 thousands of tourists visit Kinabalu National Park every year with the intention of reaching its summit. The distribution of flora on the mountain is a classic example of altitude and temperature-related zonation. From the warm lowland rainforests to the near-freezing alpine conditions at the summit, each zone is characterised by a quite different assemblage of plant species.
The best time to visit Mount Kinabalu is during the dry season from February to April, when walking and climbing is much more enjoyable. The temperature ranges from a comfortable 20-25 degrees Celsius at the main park to near freezing near the top.
