Kinabalu Hi! We did the climb in February. There were a decent amount of people who did the climb the same day as us (maybe 75?), but it didn't feel crowded. We were on a longer trip and so weren't timing our travel through countries specifically with certain weather seasons, so I'm not even sure if we were there in high or low season. I imgaine that Christmas time could get crowded, but otherwise I don't think there is a bad time to go. It's pretty chilly at the top though, so bring a fleece or jacket and some gloves!
i want to climb KK wow nice photos: i want to climb Mt KK can i know how much u spent for the complete climb & can u book last minute or months in advance??
Climbing KK Hi - sorry, I haven't checked my blog for months and am just getting your questions. In case you're still interested... we did it the cheapest way possible and just went to the headquarters and signed up there (rather than getting a package beforehand). Per person, we spent $10 for park entry, $30 for the climbing permit (incldued guide) and $35 for one night at the Gunting Lagadan Hut lodge (shared dorm room). We did it in one night, which is pretty normal. Most people stay at the headquarters the night before the trip as well, which is about $50, but we stayed at the Mt. Resthouse about a mile from the entrance and it was $20/night for a double room. I think it is usually OK to just show up the day before you want to do the hike and book it at the headquarters, but during holiday times it is probably best to book in advance, although probably more expensive.
hello hello, it sounds so much fun me and my boyfriend are going to borneo in august and would like to do it in the first couple of days, however we don't know where to go or what to do when we get there, did you go with a company? iv also been told to book in advance?
thank you, poppy

Cockneys! Hi Guys,

Hope your both good and life is treating you well, looks like you enjoyed our fine capital city!!! We have not managed any big treks or climbs since the mountain experience but have found waterfalls etc a breeze since Kinabalu!!!!!
take care and safe travels
Abi and Terry (From Mount kinabalu!)
I hope... Your time table is right on... Mom (and all of us) are so excited to have you home!!!! You might be home just after we find out some big news... have fun for your last couple weeks.
Enjoy the last days of your trip!!!! Megan and Matt,
We have relished sharing all your adventures and can't wait to hear more when we see you. I just read several blogs as I needed to catch up and it's exhausting just reading how much you've fit in! I'm going to have Ali read your London blog as she will be there (and Paris, Rome, Florence, Athens and Greek cruise) in June/July with a group from her high school (her Grad. present). Have a good trip home to sunny California!
Love and hugs,
Aunt Diane
keep trekking WOW!! I'm amazed every time I read your blogs! I think you're on to something....a travel book! Your adventures have so much to offer and I feel like a travel companion while reading, thanks.
Enjoy Europe, I'm sure this part of your trip will be quite different.
Keep us posted. Love you!
You missed some You guys should've gone to other northern tourist spots like the Hundred Islands in Alaminos, Pangasinan, surfing and spanish architecture in Ilocos Norte. The Batanes Islands I heard looks like the Irish countryside with it rolling hills and stone houses.
lol Funny stuff, that overloaded van.
This blog has a whole category of similar pics, cracks me up

unbelievable! As I read your blog, I hold my breath till I get to the end. It's so exciting and a bit scary to think of all the adventures you encounter each and every day! Each of your pictures tell a story and I look forward to seeing ALL of them when you return with live narration.
Be safe and continue to enjoy every moment. Thank you so much for your blogs!!
Happy New Years and what a New Year it is for the two of you!

slackers Wow - looks like you guys are having a great time. You don't get these chances too often so it's smart to do it while you can. Florida is still sunny and warm and we're still getting in some great volleyball here. Have fun and be safe.

Meg, we like your "old boyfriend" better than your new one.
finally...the beach..looks beautiful! the sand dunes look like a blast, is it the closest thing to skiing/snowboarding in SE Asia?
OOOXXXOOOXXXX
