Meet at hotel lobby (KK City - 07:30am) before proceeding on leisurely drive to the mountain. Stop by at Nabalu, a small town located near the foot of Mount Kinabalu to buy some local fruits & handicrafts. Upon arrival at Poring Hot Spring, start with a bit of jungle trekking up a slope to the Canopy Walk for a better appreciation of the rainforest. Try to catch sight of the small mammals, reptiles and insects during the trek. After finishing the trek, take a dip in the Open air style bath tubs filled with running sulfured water rising from the earth's depth and soak in the self-mixed warm water believed to have therapeutic effect. Before departing the Hot Spring for lunch, stop by at the vegetable market in Kundasang. Lunch is served at a local restaurant. After lunch, make a brief stopover at the Kinabalu Park Headquarters located at 1500m above sea level. Transfer back to Kota Kinabalu Hotel.
