Kinabalu

Poring Hot Springs

Located around the east side of Mount Kinabalu and some 43km from the Kinabalu National Park is the Poring Hot Springs (also part of the Kinabalu Park). Here, you can enjoy a soothing bath in the many Japanese-style bathtubs filled with warm mineral-rich running water from the depths of the earth. The water contains sulfur, known for its curative properties in curing skin problems. There is also a well-landscaped garden and chalets that offer comfortable accommodation.

Flora

Besides the exhilarating experience of conquering the mountain, Kinabalu Park is known for the abundance and diversity of its plant life within one of the world's most ancient vegetation in the world. There are over 1200 species of wild orchids and 40 varieties of oak in its forests, not to mention the countless varieties of rhododendrons with blooms raging in hue from deep red to pale pink and white. Masses of moss and ferns weigh down the trees of the Montane oak forest of the upper regions. Flowers are to be seen everywhere; on the trees, in the shrubs, along the river banks, on the forest floor, and even peeping out of the rocky crevices of the summit.

White Water Rafting

A must for thrill seekers who enjoy the heart stopping, gut wrenching excitement of shooting the rapids! The Padas, Tamparuli, and Kiulu rivers are among the many hot spots for this heart pounding sport.More on White Water Rafting
