Climbing Mt Kinabalu - Part 3

As we continued our ascent of Mt. Kinabalu we started feeling out of breath. This wasn’t because we weren’t fit as a fiddle (or so we’d like to think ;) ) but because of the thinner air as we climbed higher and higher.

Pitcher Plants - Borneo

The higher we climbed the more interesting the flora. Here you can see one of the Pitcher plants we saw while climbing. These plants catch insects and drown them in that “pitcher”, before eating them. Sounds like something we could use around our home :)

WOW! That is too cool there are actually stairs to walk up a mountain like that. Looks like a very exciting trip. Thanks for sharing with us.

The stairs are cut all the way up the mountain. The problem is, they make the climb more tiring and get very slippery in the rain ;) But I guess without them the trail would turn into a stream every time it rains.
