Sabah trip : mountain climbing

Day 2.


woke up at around 4am. departed at around 6am from KK town and took 2 hours to reach mt. Kinabalu.



nice view while on the way to mt. Kinabalu.



here is the place for registration and also the starting point.





well, that wasn't the starting point for us. since we're going to take the Mesilau trail, the 2 km longer and harder trail, we need to go to Kundasang, 45 minutes away from there.




here is the starting point for us at Mesilau Resort.




everybody had his own lunch box. we knew it's too early to have lunch but we couldn't stand for the starvation.





here we go.








cute squirrel.

















nice scenery.




see what my sampat uncle did.










the scenic route we go through.


after 6 hours of climbing, finally we reached Laban Rata, the place we we gonna stay.





the weather was so cold. my fingers almost frozen and i could barely move it. i keep drinking hot coffee but not much help.



sunset.


all of us sleep very early that night 'cause we don't have no much time to rest and we had to continue our climbing at 2am on the next day...


to be continued.
