Say harlo to Mr & Mrs Yong! And of course KY!!
After 1 week of maximum pigging in Brunei, the time has come, to MENDAKI Mount Kinabalu!!
For 3 months, every weekend was spent hiking or running.
But it still didn’t prepare me enough for Mount Kinabalu… :(
Was it a tough hike?
In all honesty, NO.
It was just steps after steps after steps after steps.
The only thing you need is stamina, and warm clothing.
Unlike places like Bukit Angsi, or Nuang, etc, where the trails are treacherous, muddy, etc, Mount Kinabalu is EXTREMELY tourist friendly!!
Not to mention the absolute absence of LEECH.
And you DON’T even need a good pair of shoe… sandals pun cukup, except for the cold of course.
So what stopped me?
Everything was ok… until I reached Laban Rata.
I arrived at 3 something, and ate and rest. By the evening, I was getting colder (inside out) and my heart beat won’t slow down.
Worst part was, my head was pounding to my heart rate.
It’s once of those rare occasion where I felt absolutely HORRIBLE.
My nose bled for 2 days after coming down, and I had one of the worst diarrhoea of my life for 2 days.
And guess what, I also paid for VIA FERATTA.
Which I did not go of course.
So the question now is, Will I return…
That’s honestly a super tough question… Do I want to go through the ordeal again?
Altitude sickness is not fun…
But I have not ‘conquer’ Mount Kinabalu… :(
TULAN… but I won’t going back for their Tuaran Mee.
Until then… Happy Hiking!!
