2 days, 1 night Mount Kinabalu summit in Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo)
In spite of my inquiry two times by email about second payment balance, no reply received. So I cannot trust you much now.
Situated in the northern tip of Borneo’s rainforests, Mount Kinabalu offers plenty of unique scenery. Starting from the top of the jungle, climbers ascend through thick rainforest followed by the Kinabalu montane alpine meadows ecoregion in the montane grasslands and shrub lands biome. There is no shortage of natural splendor here.

What’s the weather like?
During the dry season, average daily temperatures at Mount Kinabalu sit around 27 ºC. Rain falls the least in the dry season, but is not uncommon
How to get there:
Any trip to Mount Kinabalu begins with a flight into Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI) in East Malaysia. Most guides will opt to meet you here and provide transport to the start of the trip
Due to its incredible natural beauty as well as the diverse array of flora and fauna that are endemic to its slopes, Mount Kinabalu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are two main routes up the mountain – the Summit Trail and the Mesilau Trail – both offer spectacular views of the surroundings and do not require any previous experience. Regardless, a high level of physical fitness is required and all climbers must be accompanied by a mountain guide, a national park policy. In spite of its relative ease of access, the peak is quite prominent, starting practically at sea level. This means altitude sickness can be a problem at higher altitudes. Most guides offer the trip in two or three days, depending on the fitness of the group and need to acclimatize
