Low's Peak, Mount Kinabalu

Highlight • Summit

Stunning experience on the lonely mountain with great views. There are only guided (usually 2-day) tours possible, which are made with a guide. Ascent to the intermediate station (3200m) on the first day. Short night with a departure at 2 o'clock in the morning to be in time for the sunrise at the summit (4095m). Rise does not work in the rain. On the second day, after the return in the morning to the intermediate station also planned for the total descent. Despite the tropical latitudes it is very cold during the ascent at night. It can also occur in the middle of summer temperatures below 0 ° C. Especially when waiting for the sunrise at the summit is warming layer of advantage.
