Borneo Adventure
Mt. Kinabalu is located in the north of Borneo and is South East Asia’s highest mountain at 4095 metres. The ascent is demanding but non-technical. Many thousands of people make it to the top every year. Although a tough climb, the rewards of a dawn sunrise are tremendous.
Days 1-10 As main itinerary. 11 Drive to Kinabalu NP. 12 Commence climb to Laban Rata; overnight in hut. 13 Early morning ascent to summit for dawn; descend to NP headquarters; drive to Kota Kinabalu. 14 Free day. 15/16 Overnight flight to London. Price including extension from £1, 818.
Flying to Sandakan you travel to Sepilok, home of the important
orang-utan rehabilitation project in Borneo. Here you’ll learn about this wonderful yet endangered animal – a highlight of the trip. On Turtle Island discover one of the few places where marine turtles lay their precious eggs almost year-round. Here you’ll relax and hopefully see turtles come ashore. Your final days will be spent on the coast at Kota Kinabalu where you can relax and reflect on your adventure through Borneo.
After finding your feet in Kuching, you’ll set off on your adventure by road and longboat deep into Borneo to the jungle heart of Sarawak. During your two-night stay with your Iban (headhunter!) hosts you’ll hike jungle trails, try Iban style fishing and swim at a refreshing waterfall. You’ll then enter Bako National Park to walk nature trails and look for wild boar, monitor lizards and proboscis monkeys. Staying at Damai you\'ll also have the chance to relax on the beach.
