[2025 Kota Kinabalu Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Kinabalu Botanical Garden (Updated Apr)

#myhiddengems #familytravel This Hidden Gem is hidden deep inside the forest; it’s in the Kinabalu National Park, Sabah. This is Mount Kinabalu Botanical Garden, which houses thousands of flora (and some fauna). To get here, you can take the boring route: by car. Or do it like us, by taking the Silau-Silau Trail from the Kinabalu Park Office / Headquarters. Park your vehicle at the Liwagu Restaurant, and take a light, scenic trail downhill to the Taman Botanic. This less than 30 minutes trail will reward you with a small river, a tiny waterfall, and photographic mossy forest scene. The entrance fee of the botanical garden is RM 5 (international) or RM4 (local) for adults, and RM 2 less for child tickets. It’s not a large garden, but don’t underestimate the lush greenery around you- it’s so peaceful and beautiful here! 📍Address: Botanical Garden, Kinabalu National Park, Sabah, Malaysia #100waysoftravel #trekking #kinabalupark

#kotakinabalutrip Let me set the scene: I’m standing in **Mount Kinabalu Botanical Garden**, surrounded by **2,000+ plant species**, when suddenly—*a pitcher plant the size of my face* winks at me. Okay fine, it didn’t *actually* wink… but when you’re alone with carnivorous plants, your imagination gets weird. ### **Why This Garden Slaps Harder Than Your Alarm Clock** - **Rafflesia Watch**: The world’s largest flower *could* bloom during your visit (it smells like rotting meat—bring your nose plugs!). - **Pitcher Plant Selfies**: These bad boys look like nature’s cocktail glasses… if cocktails dissolved insects. - **Hidden Creek**: Follow the sound of water to a **secret mossy stream** perfect for pretending you’re in *Princess Mononoke*. **"Oops" Moment**: I may have whispered *"who’s a pretty plant?"* to an orchid. A German tourist definitely heard me. ### **Fuel for Flower Power** Afterwards, I nommed on **wild ginger flower salad** at Kundasang Market—crunchy, citrusy, and 100% less creepy than the bug-eating plants. ### **Blitz Tour for Lazy Botanists** ⏰ **8:30 AM**: Arrive pre-crowd (and pre-sweat-fest) ⏰ **9:00 AM**: Hunt for Rafflesia (check the info board for blooms!) ⏰ **10:00 AM**: Get lost in the **cloud forest section** (on purpose) ⏰ **11:00 AM**: Reward yourself with strawberry ice cream across the road ### **Pro Tips for Plant Dorks** ☑️ **RM15 entry** includes the world’s most zen garden map ☑️ **Wear red**—the rhododendrons dig the competition ☑️ **Bring binoculars** for birdwatching (and discreet people-watching) This garden proved plants are way more metal than we think. Would I go back? **Obviously**—but next time I’m bringing a notepad to properly flirt with the ferns. --- **P.S.** Tag your friend who names their houseplants! 👇 #BotanicalRoasting #KinabaluGardenGang
