We’re different because... Bamba Experience is unique. We are different because our focus is on YOU, the individual traveler. Our #1 priority is to make sure you have unforgettable experiences, meet new friends and return home with a smile on your face as you reflect back on the great memories you are bringing home. Award-Winning Customer Service: Our passion for independent travel is exceeded only by our commitment to you. Our focus on quality customer service has earned us a 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award. Structured Flexibility of Independent Travel: We know you want the freedom to choose. Bamba’s Hop-On Hop-Off bus passes offer flexible schedule changes anytime along a chosen route while Adventure Trips offer slightly more structured routes with unique trip-styles. You Choose Your Accommodation: Enjoy the freedom to decide where to sleep. Choose an affordable and social hostel dorm or a cozy upscale lodge; the choice is yours! Value: Bamba Experience believes that offering you tons of different included experiences is the best value-added aspect of your trip, so your trip includes tons of nature, culture, historic and adventure-based activities. Authenticity: Bamba takes pride in our passion for showing travelers the true heart of every destination. Included Experiences: You deserve to have cool experiences included in your trip so Bamba makes sure you don’t miss out by offering tons of different activities that bring value to your trip.

Why Independent Travel? Travel your Way We believe that freedom is empowering. When you travel independently, you learn a lot about yourself, while seeing a whole new perspective of your surroundings. You’ll discover that you can connect on a deeper level with the local people, the environment, and with other travelers. Traveling independently doesn’t mean you travel alone. Bamba is your local friend in a foreign country. Traveling with us, you’ll benefit from all of our great local insights into every place you set foot. Traveling independently means doing what YOU want, when you want, choosing where to stay, where to eat and what sights to see. You can change direction or change your mind anytime by reinventing yourself when you’re in a place that moves you. You will learn a great deal about yourself, meet tons of people, and make loads of new friends along the way. In fact, meeting people is often easier for solo travelers (and there are tons of people out there traveling on their own!) As always, if you need anything at all, Bamba Experience is available to assist you via online chat, over the phone, skype, or on email!

ITINERARY

During this 3-day trekking adventure, get more time to acclimatize to the high altitude before climbing to the summit of one of the world’s most prominent mountains - Mount Kinabalu - at 4,095m! Fortunately, Mt Kinabalu is one of the easiest peaks in the world to conquer, but do prepare to be physically fit before your trip. Start off your incredible journey in Kota Kinabalu and make your way to Kinabalu National Park passing by villages and paddy fields along the Crocker Range. On your way, make a stop at the colorful Nabalu Market for an opportunity to buy local handicrafts and fruits. Have lunch at your own expense. Check in at your hostel and get some good night sleep. On day 2, have breakfast at Balsam restaurant, in a lowland rainforest. Then, meet your mountain guide at the Sabah Park Registration Office and continue until the Power Station/Timpohon Gate [1830m] for the start of the climb. A nice winding path up the mountain takes you through various vegetation zones, such as montane oak, rhododendrons and conifer forests. After 4 to 6 hours of trekking, you will arrive at your guesthouse in Laban Rata [3550m]. Enjoy a delicious dinner while taking in the spectacular mountain landscape around you. Go to sleep early as your night will be short. Wake up as early as 2 am on day 3, put on warm clothes and begin your strenuous climb to the summit by torchlight. The altitude will make things more difficult but after 3 hours you should reach the summit’s granite plateau, just in time for a beautiful sunrise. Return to Laban Rata for breakfast and then trek back to the lower zones where vegetation is abundant. Return to Kota Kinabalu after this great achievement!

Embark on this 2-day tropical adventure and get the opportunity to climb the highest mountain of South East Asia - Mt Kinabalu - whose summit stands at an impressive 4,095m! The trek is fairly accessible but even though climbers don’t need any previous experience at mountain climbing, it is recommended to be physically fit. Set off early from Kota Kinabalu on day 1 and view the mountain’s majestic peak soar high above the jungle as you head to the entrance of Kinabalu Park. Upon arrival, meet your mountain guide, register with the Park office and then continue until the Power Station/Timpohon Gate [1830m] for the start of the climb. Begin your trek in the tropical rainforest and make your way up the mountain across twisting paths through various unique vegetation zones. As you gain elevation, climbing will become more strenuous so take the time to rest in the few mountain cabins along the way. Depending on your pace, you will reach your guest house in Laban Rata after 4-6 hours of trekking. Enjoy a delicious dinner and take in the spectacular mountain landscape in the evening. After a short night sleep, get awakened at 2 am and change into warm clothes. With the help of a torchlight, begin your climb up towards the large granite rock plates. Iron stairs and ropes have been attached to the mountain to make the climb easier. The altitude will make your climb harder but after 3 hours you should reach the cold, dark summit, in time for a beautiful sunrise view over the Crocker Mountain Range and the Sabah lowlands.
