CLIMBING MOUNT KINABALU

I believe some of you ever climbed our natural beauty Mount Kinabalu. It only cost you RM100 over and not more than RM200 per person last time. Starting from last year (2008) til now, climbing Mount Kinabalu will cost you almost RM500 per person. Nasib baik saya sudah naik time muda-muda dulu.. kekekekek.. I missed those beautiful and unique sceneries up there, thinking to climb it for another time but the price stopped me.

Y are there so expensive? I’m not sure, may b they have to do very tough maintenance up there. Everything is still the same price as last time except the accommodation at Laban Rata and they include meal in a package. The prices are as follow:

Climbing Fee

Permit Fee

Adult - RM30
Insurance per person – RM7
Certificate(color) – RM10

Trail Fee - RM5

Guide Fee

Timpohon-Summit-Timpohon
1-3 climber(s) – RM42.50
4-5 climbers – RM50

*Timpohon is the starting and end point at National Park

That is Climbing Fee (haven’t include Laban Rata accommodation), not exit RM70 per person. I still remember last time, accommodation cost only around RM65 per person and now, it will be..

RM2,360 per room includes:

- Dormitory Bunk Beds (Double Decker bed as we stayed last time)
- 6 person per room (it means RM393.30 per person)
- Heater (yeah, last time there was no heater for us)
- Common Bathroom (yes bathroom is clean and well maintained)
- Heated Shower (I still remember there is hot water direct from the pipe for bath)
- Restaurant Area (Restaurant just nearby from the room)
- Lunch (last time all meal are own cost)
- Dinner (last time all meal are own cost)
- Breakfast (last time all meal are own cost)
- Lunch after descent (last time all meal are own cost)
- Early Supper (last time all meal are own cost)

I only showed few prices that we usually paid for climbing mountain. Those prices are not applicable for below 18 years old and for a non Malaysian. Prices show above is only for Timpohon-Summit-Timpohon, there is more starting and end point including Mesilau, Ketal’s Route, more peaks other than Summit, Sub Station, Air Terjun ect. There is Porter service and Helicopter ride too. Accommodation in Laban Rata has several choices of room, I only showed the dormitory room here.

Think About It

Today we have bigger house yet smaller family. More convenient but less time. We have more degree but less common sense. More knowledge but less judgement. We have more experts but more problems. More medicine but less good health. We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, Get too angry too fast, Stay up too late, Read too little, Watch TV too much, & we less considerate. We have multiply our possessions, but have reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often. We have learned how to make a living but not a life. We have added years to life but no life to years. We have taller buildings but shorter tempers. Wider roads but narrower viewpoints. We spend more but have less. We buy more yet enjoy it less. We have been all the way to the moon & back but have trouble crossing the road to meet out neighbours. We are conquered our outer space but not our inner space. We split the atom but not our prejudice. We write more, learn less. Plan more but accomplish less. We have learned to rush but not to wait. We have higher incomes but lower morals. We build more computers to hold more info, produce more copies but have less personal communication. We are long on quantity but less in quality. These are the time of fast foods and slow digestion. Tall men & short character. More leisure but less fun, more kinds of food but less nutrition. 2 incomes but more divorce. Nicer houses but broken homes. Search more knowledge, read more, sit & admire the view without paying attention to your needs. Spend more time with your family & friends, eat your favorite food & visit the places you love. Do not keep anything for special occasions because everyday you live is a special occasion. Life is moments of enjoyment & not just about surviving. Have a simple life and leave for the fullest. Enjoy Life, because this is not rehearsal..
