Is the Mt Kinabalu reopen for hiking already?

sad news until laban rata only..so scrap plan

I will be going to the fraser hill soon. Didnt have much option to do there but fortunately i do love to be surrounded by nature. I notice there are a few trails which we can DIY.

So anyone have been to all/any of these trails? Please share your experience/advice/watever sharing.

Can try it next year. I heard from my KK tour guide, peak will be reopen for hiking next year

Fraser's hill is awesome, I usually go to pine tree trail and hike till the first peak. You can hike up till the second peak but IMO, the first peak has a better view than the second one.

If you start your hike early like 7am or so, the fresh air is so awesome! You should be able to exit about 1-2pm depending on the speed you hike, assuming you only go to the 1st peak.

I'll be planning a hike there soon too! First time there tho, any rough guide for dummies? Where to start/park etc

If that's the case, is it possible to do a one day trip ? Will that be too tiring? Like drive from KL early in the morning then after hike, drive back again.

Parking there is simple, no issue; just drive up to pine tree trails and park nearby the entrance of the trail would do; the train is pretty straight forward, as it's only one way, so definitely won't get lost.

Yup it is possible, but if you are going to do that, you are gonna be super super tired for sure. If you want, I'd suggest do your best to come out from the trail by 5pm latest (if you're heading till the 2nd peak), then go KKB have your dinner thr to chill a bit before driving back to KL

Hey do u guys think it's safe to go G. Datuk next week with the constant raining recently?

Much better than the haze.

Of course. Haha. But I'm bringing 4 amateurs so im abit worried. Personally ive been there 3 times

I never been there. Raining is not a problem. Just slow down and carefull.

I just hiking back this morning. It is lovely day after the haze gone. Nothing is better than this. It is slippy everywhere after yesterday raining. Some slip and fall down. But everybody come out safe. Most of them is beginner.

Yeah am actually worried the most about them slipping at the ladders at the peak but alright, all mounts are challenging always

I think G Datuk shouldn't be a prob as it isn't like Saga/Apek which can be muddy when it rains. The only part is you would wanna be careful at the ladder part, in case it gets slippery.

Nonetheless, G Datuk has breathtaking view and totally worth it!

Cant wait for my g.datuk adventure this weekend.
thanks!i hope new shoes suit me

New shoe to hiking? Your leg and toe going to be pain.

Will try tomorow for running:)

Brought a new shoe 2day before hiking. And only wear 1x before hiking. (rushing buy since no shoe)

Going up no problem. But coming down, fark. Leg and toe pain like hell.

Hehe.saturday will try hike at bukit beruang first tengok how

Great! bring some insect repellent tho, when i went two weeks ago there were bees at the peak
Enjoy!
