KINABALU MOUNT is borneo’s tallest mountain. You can climb to the top of Low’s Peak (4,095.2m or 13,435.7ft above sea level). The height of the mountain is often given as 4,101m but recent satellite imaging has proven this to be incorrect.

No specialized mountain climbing skills are required to ascend it, though along certain sections on the summit trail, hikers will need to rely on guide ropes to make the ascent and descent. The trail that most tourists use is described as a ‘trek and scramble’. Locals are reported to begin climbing the mountain from the age of 3 and the oldest person to reach the peak was 80 years old. However, how much one enjoys the climb depends strongly on how fit you are and how well you acclimate to thin air at the higher levels.

Legendary Mahsuri

Langkawi Island…………………

Mahsuri’s Tomb is the crypt of the legendary Princess Mahsuri. Located in the village of Mawat, 12km from Kuah, it is also known as Makam Mahsuri. Most of the island’s natural attractions have fables attached in true Malay style and Mahsuri’s Tomb is probably its most famous legend.

The story begins with the beautiful Mahsuri, a maiden (or princess by some accounts) born over 200 years ago, who married the love of her life during a time of conflict with the Siamese. Her husband went off to fight in the war and her mother-in-law, jealous of her beauty, vengefully accused Mahsuri of adultery.

Mahsuri protested her innocence but the village elders tried the young girl, found her guilty and sentenced her to death by stabbing. She was tied to a stake but when she was pierced with the ceremonial dagger she bled white blood, a sign of her innocence.

The legend of Mahsuri supposedly accounts for Langkawi’s relatively ‘newfound’ success and judging by its increasing prosperity, the island has survived the curse. Mahsuri’s Tomb (the site where Mahsuri died) was converted into a historical site: it includes Mahsuri’s shrine, a fenced-in white slab of marble that stands alone in a shady garden. Besides that, there is a reconstruction of a traditional Malay house, a theatre and a ‘diorama museum’ which houses some of Mahsuri’s jewellery and the weapon that killed her. There are also a few food outlets at Mahsuri’s Tomb and a well that is said to bless those who dip their hands into it with beauty.

SABAH Kinabalu Park

THINK TO DO IN KINABALU 

1)MOUNT KINABALU

Climbing this mountain is the main reason many travellers come to Sabah in the first place. It’s regarded as been a relatively ‘easy’ mountain to climb. However, don’t take the challenge lightly; you really do need to be prepared and have a reasonable level of fitness.

2)KINABALU PARK

UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kinabalu Park stretches over 75,370 hectares around magnificent Mount Kinabalu. Encompassing four vegetation zones, from tropical lowland forrest to sub-alpine meadows, the park is home to an impressive array of diverse flora and fauna, including many endemic species. Kinabalu Park offers first-class trekking, and a handful of more sedate activities.

3)KUNDASANG WAR MEMORIAL AND GARDEN

Four peaceful, manicured gardens constitute the memorial: an Australian, English and Bornean garden each with various native plantings; and a Contemplation Garden with a reflecting pool and black granite plaques inscribed in gold with the names of the soldiers that died. The serene and poignant atmosphere is fittingly reverent. The memorial also displays a collection of newspaper clippings and memorabilia and a brief documentary film on the history of the Sandakan Death March can be viewed.

4)SABAH TEH GARDEN

Pot of tea? If you’re fond of a cuppa, a tour of Sabah Tea Garden gives you the lowdown on how a humble camellia leaf is turned into a perky pick-me-up. Return to the attached cafe, where your eyes can savour the miles of green while you tastebuds savour its produce. Sabah Tea Garden run longer tours that include hikes around the estate and offer a variety of accommodation packages in a Rungus-style longhouse or cottages.

5) PORING HOT SPRING

Poring is known for its popular sulphuric hot spring baths and the surrounding area has developed into a favoured local tourist attraction with not only the pools, but a terrific canopy walk suspended high in the rainforest, butterfly, orchid and tropical gardens, walking trails and a spectacular waterfall.
