Registration and paying our mountain climbing fee at Kinabalu Park (fees are required when you decide to take the longer, more strenuous route). Also called the scientists' route, starting your hike from Masilau gate means a couple of hours' hike longer than if you took the Timpohon Gate route.

There's no turning back from Kinabalu Park once you get on the bus headed for Masilau resort where we spent the night after a day traveling in the bus and listening to a lot of crap.

Second stop, actually, third stop... we were at Nabalu roadside market earlier - the perfect place to get a cool pair of "Kampung Adidas" - perfect mountain climbing pair of shoes.
I was the only one who bought a pair... for him.

Charming, friendly mountain porters... they carry luggages, gas tanks and even people on their backs, all the way up, and down the mountain trails.
