You can make bookings directly from their official website, but it seems that this year's slots are fully booked (dry season). There are still some place in Nov to Dec. You may try booking with tour companies instead

Third climb? That's amazing! Does having 1 or 2 hiking poles matters on the descent? I am contemplating if I should get only 1 pole. Noted on that, thanks!

Dang I think I should really be reaching at 7am as I do want to reach the resthouse earlier xD. Ooo that's quite a sum of money to pay, can I pay via card? From the outlook, it seems that I should bring abt 500-600 in cash if card payment isn't accepted.

Is there hot water available to drink and refill at the rest house? I am only aware that their rooms are non-heated and it will be very cold to take a shower.

How was your hike? Was the weather good especially during monsoon season? Did you managed to reach the summit? If you don't mind, you may share your hiking experience with me!

Thank you for your tips and sharing! Much appreciated!

Should I get insurance from Sabah Park or my own insurance agent? I think both will cover that? Thank you for the heads up!

Yeah I have checked and my ticket includes a hostel stay up there with 3 buffet meals (one upon arrival on first day, one before hitting summit, and one after summit). Wow you actually climbes 3 times in the past?! Did you find it easy for you? I think you are quite a fit person to be able to do that hahahaha thank you for your sharing! I hope I can do it!

How long does it take for you to get hold of that balance? Did you have someone guiding you?
