Getting There
The 754 square kilometres Kinabalu was converted into a National Park in 1964 for its geographical & geological importance and the abundance of diverse flora, 4500 species of plants, 1200 orchid, 290 butterflies and 326 birds. In December 2000, UNESCO awarded Kinabalu Park as Malaysia's first World Heritage Site for its “outstanding universal values” and its role as one of the most important biological sites in the world.
Located at 1,585 metres above sea level, Kinabalu Park showcases a complete and interesting ecological system unrivalled anywhere else in the world. It also carries lowland, mountain and alpine vegetation that are not seen anywhere else between the Himalayas and the snow-capped peak of New Guinea. Kinabalu Parks plays host to the annual Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon event, proclaimed the 'World's Toughest Mountain Race' and attracts top mountain racers from around the world.
