Feel the thrill of the Torq Via Ferrata.

Description

The only thing better than climbing a majestic peak like Mount Kinabalu (4,095m) is to also walk along the thrilling Torq Via Ferrata during the same expedition. And, on this 2-day trip, that is exactly what you will get to do.

Our trip will begin at your hotel lobby, where we will pick you up. After that, we will travel for approximately 2 hours to the Kinabalu park. Once we reach the park, we will register and then make our way to the Timpohon Gate (1,892m). From the gate, we will climb for approximately 4 to 6 hours to the Pendant Hut, where we will be spending the night. We will also have a via ferrata safety briefing as well.

On the second day of the trip, we will wake up at approximately 1:30 am. After that, we will climb to the summit of Kinabalu. After you’ve enjoyed the sunrise from the summit, we will descend to the Sayat Sayat hut (3,668m). This is where you will get to enjoy the trills of the Torq Via Ferrata!

After the via ferrata, we will return to the Pendant Hut, where you can enjoy some much needed breakfast. We will then head back to the Timpohon Gate before making the trip back to your hotel.

Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition.

Are you looking for some great adventure? Are you planning on visiting Borneo? If so, you’ll love this 2-day trip that will not only take you to the summit of Mount Kinabalu, but also let you walk along the Torq Via Ferrata. To join us, please send a request.

Would you like to only scale Kinabalu? If so, come and join us on this 2-day trip.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
