Climbing Mt. Kinabalu will require two days. You have to book an overnight accommodation in one of the cabins managed by Sutera Sanctuary Lodges. Here's the link: http://www.suteraharbour.com/.
When Kate, Monique, and I climbed what used to be known as the highest mountain is Southeast Asia* in February 2010, the rate we got was RM 1,476 for 3 pax or RM 492 per person.
Package inclusions are as follows:
1 night accommodation at Laban Rata
3 x Packed Lunch from Balsam Cafe
3 x buffet dinner at Laban Rata Resthouse
3 x super breakfast (2:00 am) at Laban Rata Resthouse
3 x breakfast at Laban Rata (after coming back from the peak)
3 x buffet lunch at Balsam Restaurant, Kinabalu Park
3 x Climbing Permit
3 x Insurance
Other fees/expenses we paid in cash:
Entrance Fee: RM 15.00
Mountain Guide Fee: RM 28.30 (RM 85.00 for 3 climbers)**
Porter Fee: RM 45 (including tip)
Certificate (optional): RM 10.00
Bus to Kinabalu Park: RM 15.00
Van to KK: RM 40 (RM 120 for 3 persons. It's just an estimate, i forgot the exact fare)
Total expense per person: RM 645.30
I've heard that some people finished the climb in only a day. Attempting to do the same would require quite a stamina. We weren't up for that kind of challenge.
