Hi,
I'd like to make a 2-day climbing Mt Kinabalu in March 2010.
Do I always need to book a tour through a travel agent?
Is Laban Rata the only place to rest overnite on the way to the peak?
1. No, you don't have to book through travel agent, but you can book directly with Sutera Sanctuary.The problem is, some travel agent made a prior booking with Sutera Sanctuary. That's why sometime it is easier to book from travel agent than to book directly. the availability is the main issue.
2. No, Laban Rata is not the only place to rest overnight to the peak, you can also stay at Waras Hut, Gunting Lagadan or Panar Laban. But you are not allowed to camp anywhere in the park.
I'm from sarawak..Marina court is a good place to stay if going holiday with a large group of family member e.g 4 and above..the apartment/condo has 3 bedroom and we can cook if we want.Been here several time with my family of 5 pupils. For me its cheaper than rent a hotel rooms. i suggested this to my all virtual friend. last month i rent 3 unit with this guy..mitch his name if i not mistaken u can call him at (zero one six 84 zero 70 six 9)..his price very affordable..
I heard that Likus Sports Complex & Sutera Resort have squash courts.
But we could play squash at Marina Court Condo (we stayed there).
We have our own rackets & ball, so don't know you can rent equipment or not.
While waiting for your hot tub to fill(2 hours?), put your towel over the faucet to "reserve" it and visit the waterfall. You may even have time to complete the canopy walk.
Stay overnight at Poring hostel or chalet because the best time to soak in the hot tub is after 5 pm when the sun is low.
Kadaiku, which is accredited by the Sabah Tourism, offers high-quality shirts, sarongs, and home decors at very reasonable prices. Even the local food stuff that you want to bring home to your family and friends cost less here. Must buy here are their T-shirts, which I think are exclusively made for them. They have the best shirt designs and material and they can’t be seen in other stores. They also cost less (24.50-25.50RM) than other KK souvenir shirts (30-40RM).
The Sabah handmade chocolates are sold at only 16RM here, while most stores sell them from 18-19RM.
Next to the expensive shenanigans, you come here to tank up first. Good location, and the food price isn't bad either, though you won't really come here for dinner. Sometimes you get to see wannabes gangsters beat each other up...
Drinks are usually served in cans and is not usually cold enough for my liking-spirits can be surprisingly cheap(ish), probably as they've been smuggled in from Labuan.
Do be careful of the homeless children who hang around the area (about 10m away where the cars are parked in the dark)-usually they have been coralled into begging for money and some are high on drugs, but there have been incidences of theft. Women especially, should be careful as assaults have been known to occur but usually no one walks alone to their cars, and that way no one will try anything. nope...
