Other Things to Know

Packing list for the trip

*We would like to stress that it gets very cold at the top (under 10 degrees celsius), so please do bring warm clothing for sleeping in, and for the summit climb!

Basic first aid supplies (e.g. painkillers, bandaid, ibuprofen, antiseptic and gauze)

Cash (we recommend RM100 - 150 in case you need to rent equipment, hire a porter, tip the guides, buy beer at the top, etc!)

Extra clothing and socks

Hand gloves and beanie

Head torch (compulsory)

High energy food such as chocolates, nuts, biscuits, sweets, energy bars

Jacket/Wind breaker (if your jacket isn't waterproof, we would also recommend bringing a disposable raincoat)

Long sleeves shirt/Hiking trousers

Personal toiletries

Refillable water bottle (0.5 - 1 Litre)

Towel (optional - in case you would like to shower at Base Camp - the showers at Base Camp can get chilly though!)

Trekking or running shoes with good grip

Warm clothing*

Waterproof backpack to store your items

Will I definitely get to summit Mt Kinabalu?

It'll depend on your fitness level and the weather. On the morning of the summit, you'll need to get to the summit checkpoint by 5pm in order to be cleared by the local rangers for summit. If you do not arrive in time (due to fitness level or other reasons), you will not be allowed to proceed to summit. In addition, there are a handful of days each year where the summit climb is cancelled by Mt Kinabalu Park due to dangerous weather conditions. Cancellations happen if there is torrential rain and it's deemed dangerous for climbers to make the slippery summit climb. Cancellations are rare, and no refund will be issued by Mt Kinabalu Park for any cancellations.
