Mt. Kinabalu via Ferrata, Sabah, Malaysia

We decided to do Mt. Kinabalu via Ferrata just after Christmas, and boy it was definitely a hike to remember! To reach Low’s Peak only takes 2 days and 1 night, but it is a lot harder than people think it really is. The trek up to the summit is approximately 9km, with a total ascent of 2,220m. It’s a long uphill struggle the whole way! When you reach the top, you are fatigued, and there is no mercy on your legs as you have to endure the same distance and steepness but this time, going down. You want the perfect leg day workout? Come to Mt. Kinabalu. The adventure is definitely worth it. Mt. Kinabalu is one of every hiker’s bucket list. It has beautiful vegetation, holding approximately 6,000 species of plants, 326 species of birds and more than a hundred mammalian species. Mount Kinabalu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the 20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence.
