Timpohon Gate, Kundasang, Sabah — Attraction in Borneo

This is a starting point for most hikers of the Mount Kinabalu in Sabah.. It is located from the main city about a 2 hours drive.. Hiker are properly guided here and hiking starts at breaking dawn. I have attached picture of the summit trail as u can get an example of the hike.. the shortest and easiest route takes a minimum of a full 2 days 2 night journey to the top.. there is a longer route as shown in the map... I have also attached a picture of certain rules and guidance where u can see and be slightly prefer if you are planning your hike.. Not only for hikers but it's a great place for u to visit and a good viewing point of the mountain scenery.. There are also a squirrel feeding point as shown in my pictures... you can bring some peanuts and have a memorable experience of feeding wild squirrels of the mountains where with time has started to feel slightly comfortable with humans.. Overall it will be a great road trip.. To visit there is no entry fee.. But there would be for hikers.. Also there are washroom facility there for travellers...

Pretty disappointing as foreigners pay 15 per adult, then you drive toward the gate and from km before the road is closed and you need to walk (not possible with a two years old baby). You walk a bit to try as you pay the entrance and you realise many minibuses have access to this road but not you. And when you give up and tell the cashier on the way back you don’t appreciate being fooled, and at least they could tell people the road is not accessible by car or scooter and you will need to walk, they just answer “if you enter five or ten minutes and take pictures then you pay”… such a shame they don’t respect visitors here. Moreover there is nothing inside except hotel and restaurant and the inaccessible gate to feed...
