Spots run about RM25 plus RM12 adult entry. Nights are cold, ants are everywhere, and you must navigate via Kiau Road — the default Google Maps route ends on a 4WD-only gravel road.
03 🚗 Getting There
Getting there — ~1 hour from Kota Kinabalu at AH150, Kota Belud (Kundasang/Ranau direction, adjacent to Kinabalu Park boundary).
