Experience the beginning of Mount Kinabalu’s climbing at Kinabalu Park, Sabah

After playing with goats and cows at the Desa Cattle Dairy Farm, Kundasang, we visited the Kinabalu Park nearby.  The weather here is still cold like Genting Highlands so keep wearing your jacket.  This park is the entry point and also the ending point for climbing the mighty Mount Kinabalu which has the height of 4,101 meters.  But we are not here to climb the Mount K.  Kinabalu Park is actually one of the first national parks in Malaysia and it is very important biological sites with many species of flora and fauna.

Here is a short video of our climbing in the Kinabalu Park:
