Hiked this hill on a lovely morning. With my husband and daughter. When you’re on top, you can see the top of the Crystall hill and also the famous Laban Rata of the Kinabalu mt.
Cool views of Mount Kinabalu from Jabez sanctuary. A 90 min drive from Kota Kinabalu city in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia #lifeatexpediagroup
Descending from the summit of Mount Kinabalu shortly after sunrise.
Up and up and up we go... 6km hike up from the base to Pendant Hut which is still 2.7km from the summit
A panorama so vivid, so serene and so #green will surely take your breath away!
