KK State and City Mosques

It was four in the afternoon when we arrived to the city of KK from Ranau.

The weather was cloudy with occasional rain. We visited the city and state mosques, signal hill and the Atkinson Tower.




The view of the city from the hill is breathtaking. The mosques have great architectures and the landscapes are very amazing.








Mount Kinabalu - Climbathon 2012

We left the city of Kinabalu at seven in the morning after having a sumptuous breakfast at the Bunga Raya Cafe. 

We hired a car to bring us to Ranau and we stopped at Poring Hot Springs where we had some warm up and our early lunch.







We arrived Kinabalu Park after an hour and a half drive and we reached the Climbathon registration area.







Trek Map below:



After having the route map to the summit, we got our badges, and started trekking downhill. 



Our first stop was at Carson falls.



We had many stopovers for picture taking and hydrating as the trail is really steep.




We did not finish the trek as fog started to blind our paths and we didn't have a guide or any climbing equipment with us.





We just enjoyed the views and went back to the starting point. 

We'll bring more company on our next visit. :)
