One of our main reasons for climbing Mt. Kinabalu was to see the nature there. It has such a wide array of flora and fauna that it is considered a world heritage site by UNESCO.

Seeing the rare Red Langur (aka Red Leaf Monkey), was definitely one of the highlights of the climb. Even our guide was pretty excited to see one and he goes up the mountain almost every day!

The first thing that came to our mind when we started our ascent was that the greenery looked a lot like Jurassic Park, with the ferns, the every present mist and the sound of animals in the jungle.

The ever present mist in the jungle.
