KUNDASANG i) Timpohon Gate
Timpohon
Gate at Kinabalu Park is the primary entry point to climb Gunung
Kinabalu - 9km on the summit trail to Low's Peak with Laban Rata
located along the way. This is the first checkpoint taken by climbers
in the morning located about 4km away from the park's office but
accesible by road. Heavily fenced, an office records the entry and
departure of all climbers and porters using this entrance. The gate is
housed within a large house that also provides a small convenience
store and observatory platform on top that overlooks the valley and
Mount Kinabalu's western ridge. Visitors are free to lounge on this
deck and feed tame wild squirrels while soaking in the dramatic
mountain view

ii) DESA CATTLE DAIRY FARM
Located
at the foothill of Mount Kinabalu, Desa Cattle Dairy Farm offers one of
the most amazing scenery one could envision. Often chosen as a wedding
photography destination, with the majestic Mount Kinabalu overlooking
beautiful green pastures, the scenery is breathtaking, not forgetting
the cool breeze that Kundasang has to offer.The real attraction here is the cattle farm, producing about 900,00 litres of milk per year. The farm is 199 hectars and most of the milking cows are Friesians, the highest milk producers of all cattle breeds. It is an ideal destination for the whole family, where there are activities such as feeding the calves with bottled milk, feeding goats with grass, how milk is processed as well as the milking process are available for all. If you have ever wondered how milk is made, Desa Cattle Farm is the place for you. |
