This comprehensive and practical guide is intended for any local or international visitor to Kinabalu Park, an increasingly popular eco-tourism destination in Sabah, Eastern Malaysia. One of the most accessible and spectacular mountains in the world, Kinabalu is also one of the highest in South-east Asia. The park, now a world heritage site, is a mecca of biodiversity, containing more than 5000 species of plants and a wealth of birds, mammals and other animals. In addition to the wildlife, visitor attractions include hiking trails, hot springs, a canopy walkway and the two-day ascent of the summit itself. This illustrated book is both a complete introduction to Kinbalu and a companion guide for the visitor. It describes all the park's wildlife and plantlife, including a full bird checklist, and has essential practical information on access, accommodation and facilities. Detailed accounts of the park's trails and climbs are each accompanied by individual route maps.
