As all climbing permits are issued by Mount Kinabalu park, we will need to check the availability with Mount Kinabalu park before confirming your requested date.We will do our best to obtain your requested date. But if you have any flexibility in your dates, do let us know in the booking form and we can check those as well with the park.Only 160 permits are issued by the park each day, so we would recommend booking at least 3-4 months in advance for peak season (May to Aug), and 2-4 weeks in advance during off-season.As permits are issued by Mount Kinabalu park (and not us), any permits that have been issued are strictly non-refundable.OtherHealth: It is recommended that all climbers should have themselves medically checked before attempting any mountain climb.

I don’t have a friend to go with climbing Mount KK. Is it still ok to book this trip?
Maria Wong, 25 May 2023
Hi Maria,
It's ok :) It's also suitable for a solo traveller. Please note it's a join in trip meaning there'll be other customers that join the trip as well. Hope that helps :)
Hi, can i check if there are any slots from 1st-3rd June for hikes on Mt KK?
