Activity Details
At the Kinabalu Park, enjoy a walk in the mountain garden to learn about the unique plants such as the carnivorous nepenthes, orchids and ferns. Be amazed by the different plant structures that have evolved in enabling them to survive in the tropical rainforest. Proceed for another 45 minutes to the eastern boundary of the park. Here, the montane oak-chestnut forest gives way to the lowland dipterocarp forest.
Trek uphill 30 minutes for an opportunity to witness life in the treetops as you walk along a Canopy walkway located 100 feet above ground level. You will see the number of epiphytes notably the Grammatophyllum Speciosum which is the world’s largest orchid and also known as the Queen of Orchids.
Time permitting, you may opt to dip your feet in the hot springs which is known to be therapeutic for the skin due to its sulphuric content or visit the nearby village reserves to view the largest flower in the world, the Rafflesia which is at your own expense.
Please note that there has been instances the canopy walkway have closed for maintenance. If the walkway closed, we will replace with a visit to the Tropical Garden.
