Kinabalu Park Sabah Malaysia

Kinabalu Park Sabah Malaysia.

The Kinabalu Park Sabah Malaysia covers an area of 754 sq km and is made up of Mount Kinabalu, Mount Tambayukon and the foothills.

Kinabalu Park Sabah Malaysia was gazetted to preserve this valuable natural environment.

The mountains have a fascinating geological history, taking 'just' a million years to form.

The mighty Mount Kinabalu is actually a granite massif that was later thrust upwards through the crust of the surface.

Subsequent erosion removed thousands of feet of the overlying sand and mud stone, exposing this massif.

During the Ice Age, glaciers running across the summit smoothed it out, but the jagged peaks that stood out above the ice surface remained unaffected, retaining the extremely ragged surfaces.

This rugged mountain is the focal point of the National Park.

If you plan to climb the mountain, be sure to bring a head torch for the early morning climb to the summit which starts in utter darkness and cold weather gear.

The summit temperatures have been known to dip to below freezing!

Cameron Highlands Malaysia

Cameron Highlands Malaysia.

There are many things to see and do in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia's largest highland resort.

Walks through lovely little villages, visits to the butterfly, strawberry, honey bee farms and sprawling tea plantations or meals at the delightful Tudor-styled country inns, are all pleasurable and relaxing activities to be experienced here.

You can't beat the weather up here.

A few days out of the sweltering lowland heat will surely recharge your batteries.

One other popular activity in Cameron Highlands, actually more of a tradition, is to have tea and scones.

This very English tradition dates back to the days when English colonial officers used this hilly location as a cool getaway from the heat of the lowlands.

Bird-watching and trekking are also popular activities here.

Situated 1,500 metres above sea level, Cameron Highlands comprises a series of little townships that include Ringlet, Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Tringkap, Kuala Terla and Kampung Raja.

What's more, it's easy to get to. Cameron Highlands lies less than an hour off the main North-South Highway, and is a pleasant, easy 3.5-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur.

Tips - When trekking, please check with your host if the weather is suitable for the trail you want to take. Also, do let your host know when you plan to be back and what trail you are taking.


How To Go To Cameron Highlands Malaysia :-

By Road - Cameron Highlands is accessible via Tapah or the new highway at Simpang Pulai. If you are driving up from Kuala Lumpur, the Simpang Pulai exit takes an additional 45 minutes to reach the north of Tapah using the North-South Expressway. The ascent along this route is much smoother and less precarious than the route from Tapah.

By Bus or Taxi - Bus and Taxi services are available from the Puduraya Terminal in Kuala Lumpur and the journey will take you to Tanah Rata. Alternatively, take a train to Tapah and then continue your journey in a taxi or a bus.
