Product Description
Product Description
This comprehensive and practical guide is intended for any local or international visitor to Kinabalu Park, an increasingly popular eco-tourism destination in Sabah, Eastern Malaysia. One of the most accessible and spectacular mountains in the world, Kinabalu is also one of the highest in South-east Asia. The park, now a world heritage site, is a mecca of biodiversity, containing more than 5000 species of plants and a wealth of birds, mammals and other animals. In addition to the wildlife, visitor attractions include hiking trails, hot springs, a canopy walkway and the two-day ascent of the summit itself. This illustrated book is both a complete introduction to Kinabalu and a companion guide for the visitor. It describes all the park's wildlife and plantlife, including a full bird checklist, and has essential practical information on access, accommodation and facilities. Detailed accounts of the park's trails and climbs are each accompanied by individual route maps.

Format:Paperback
This is the best visitor's guide to Kinabalu Park that I've ever have. The content is very detail, the presentation is very good and the pictures inside is very nice. It has almost complete information about Kinabalu Park - including the mountain, the flora and the fauna of Kinabalu. It is very useful for travelers who planned to come to Sabah, especially for those who like to know more about the natural habitat of Kinabalu.
If you are planning to come to Sabah, especially for those who planned to climb Mount Kinabalu, you should have this guide. Very handy and you can read it on your way up to the summit. Trust me!
