Guide for u if u want to Climbing Mount Kinabalu

2009-06-28T12:54:00.000+07:00

The majestic and awe-inspiring Mount Kinabalu is one of the premier destinations for thousands of visitors to Sabah, Malaysian Borneo each year. Kinabalu National Park, a designated World Heritage Site, boasts an estimated 4,500 species of plants which includes 1,500 species of orchids, 77 of which are endemic to Kinabalu, Nepenthes pitcher plants, and the Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world. The Park also supports 289 species of birds and 290 different types of butterflies.

Besides being the highest peak in Borneo and the whole of South East Asia (between Irian Jaya and the Himalayas to be exact), and the youngest non-volcanic mountain in the world, Mount Kinabalu is extremely climber-friendly and compared to other much lower mountains around the world, Mount Kinabalu is an ideal first mountain for novice mountain trekkers to conquer.

The standard climb up Mount Kinabalu is via the Kinabalu Summit Trail at Kinabalu National Park (~1,560m above sea level). The first ascent is from the starting point at Timpohon Gate, about 4km or 30 minutes drive from the Kinabalu National Park Headquarter.

If you prefer to start the ascent on Day 1, it is advisable to arrive at the Park late morning the latest or else, depending on the weather, the Park may not allow you to do the first ascent due to hazardous condition (i.e., the fog may be too thick by late evening causing visibility problems and/or the trail may be extremely slippery).

Most climbers prefer to stay overnight at Kinabalu National Park upon arrival to not only acclimatize to the altitude but also to enjoy the magnificent flora and fauna at the Park before the "assault" on the next day/morning.

The first ascent is from Timpohon Gate just after the Power Station up to the mid-summit Laban Rata Resthouse (or more popularly known as the 11,000 ft or ~3,873m). You will first follow the crest of a narrow ridge that dips down onto the main slopes of Mount Kinabalu itself. A little further on, you will reach a scenic waterfall known as Carson's Falls, named after the first Warden of the Park. Don't forget to take a sip and fill your water bottles with the fresh natural mountain water.

Conservatively, it should take a normal fit person an average 5-6 hours to reach Laban Rata. Participants at the annual Mount Kinabalu Climbathon competition went all the way up to 13,400ft (4092.5m above sea level) and back in 2 hours. But it is not really about how fast you can reach the top. It is about the experience of trekking pass different vegetation zones from Oak and Chestnut to mossy and eventually to alpine type of vegetations, and observing the rare and exotic flora and fauna on the way up.

Besides the heated Laban Rata Resthouse, the other option for climbers is to stay at the unheated mountain huts. There is actually another accommodation option at the so-called VIP Lodge, which is more expensive compared to the others and also, more difficult to secure (i.e., only two such units available).

After a short night rest to recharge your battery, the second and more grueling phase will commence early morning on Day 2, at about 2 am to 3 am. The second ascent will be from the mid-summit all the way to the summit, which is called Low's Peak, named after the British colonial officer Sir Hugh Low, supposedly, the first person to conquer Mt. Kinabalu.

The ascent should normally take a few hours but it is much more challenging than the initial ascent due to the thinner air near the summit. But near the peak on the granite portion of the ascent, there will be a thick nylon rope laid down to mark the route so that climbers will not get lost in the fog. You can use this rope to pull your tired body up.

Although, to reach the summit is already an achievement, it is best to target, if possible, to reach the summit just before sunrise to catch the awesome sight. If you reached too early, it will be too freezing cold to wait too long for the sunrise. On a good clear weather, the sky seemingly turns from black to red then orange and finally gold as the sun appears. When daylight breaks, you will truly feel that you are standing on top of the world. You can see as far as Kudat and even Sandakan if the weather permits.

Some tour itinerary samples can be found at the links below:

2D/1N Mount Kinabalu Climb 3D/2N Mount Kinabalu Climb

One important tip is to make reservation early. Given the popularity of the Mount Kinabalu climb nowadays, it is advisable to book at least 3-4 months in advance (or even much earlier during the peak season usually around mid-year) to avoid any disappointment.

This is mainly due to the limited accommodation at the mid-summit (i.e., Laban Rata Resthouse, Mountain Huts or the VIP Lodge). In the event that there is no accommodation at the mid-summit, the climb will not be possible as strictly stipulated in the National Park's rules and regulations. Additionally, a mountain guide is compulsory.

Sea World charm Down Raja Ampat

2009-04-09T08:30:00.000+07:00

Papua, "I FOUND the paradise," said Esther. Express the admiration of tourists Dutch origin its pronounced for this natural beauty in the area of Raja Ampat Islands, Papua.

Similar to Esther, Michael Sjukrie, a dive instructor and photographer in the bottom of the sea in the expedition team also revealed his admiration with water under Raja Ampat archipelago.

According to the man who has dived in various places in Indonesia and abroad, the bottom of the sea in the Raja Ampat Islands are stunning. "I found three sea horses that have not been in other places. Its coral reefs also very good, such as the garden under the sea," he said.

Indeed, the sea around the Raja Ampat Islands are rich with marine organisms and coral reefs inhabited by the native of Indonesia.

The islands included in this triangle Coral (Coral Triangle), which consists of Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, and Australia. Coral Triangle area is known as the area that has the richest marine biodiversity in the world.

The condition of coral reefs in Raja Ampat 60% in very good condition and has a combination of the diversity of coral and fish the best. Conversely, 17% natural coral reef ugly conditions, but located in a hidden cove mud is high levels of precipitation.

In addition, the island that has a broad approximately 43,000 km2 was also found 828 species of reef fish. Researchers estimate there are at least 1084 species of fish in the archipelago of 44 islands have this.

Coral formation in the Dampier, which is located between the north island and south island Batanta Waigeo-Gam, the area is very rich fish species karangnya.

Expedition team had to do research in it. Widodo Pranowo, expedition team members who work for the Department of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries said the condition of the Raja Ampat Islands are still influenced by the mass of water from the West Pacific Ocean (Western Pacific Ocean). This shows there is a flow moves from the east to the northeast and parallel with the mainland of Papua (Mainland) northbound.

"When arriving at the Halmahera Sea or Raja Ampat in the northern part of the flow is moving to the south will enter the flow Cruises Jailolo and most of the others will turn the direction toward the Pacific Ocean again. Cash is what is known as the Halmahera Eddy. We also suspect that when Flow Halmahera Eddy before arriving at the Halmahera Sea, there is a small part of the Dampier to enter the curve, "he said.

According to Widodo, the fertility level in the Raja Ampat is very good, as evidenced by the number of large fish such as fish plankton eater Manta Ray, and some types of whales.

Coral reef ecosystems in Raja Ampat, according to Andreas, the same as the sea which is the other open areas oligotropik (poor or elements burly nutrien). However, a unique, ecosystem Terumbu karangnya much higher compared with other open sea.

According to Andreas, this situation had become a mystery for several decades. "Why regions burly of the poor can have a high biodiversity number two in the world in the tropical forest in the Amazone, Brasil?"

Andreas said it is due to the nature of the coral reef ecosystem that nature may have to manage their own food for the organisms-organisms in the ecosystem are active.

Andreas cite, in the morning found the thick layer of mucus on the surface or in the water near the beach. In fact mucus is rich in protein and burly elements. "Safeguard mucus that turns this into a source of food for the plankton in the area of coral reefs. So the food chain from the producer level (plankton) to consumer-level top-level (carnivora fish / meat eater) met," he said.

Based on the results of measurements, the condition of the King of the Four has a very good condition, in which salinitasnya ranges from 33-34 PSU. Then the surface temperature ranges between 28 degrees Celsius at a certain depth to 27 degrees Celsius. Then the penetration of sunlight can reach up to 30-37 meters. "This is causing coral reefs can grow well," he said.

Although famous as a place of rich diversity hayatinya, expedition team found the impact of excessive fishing. "Fish or napoleon maming often used as indicators of the amount of fishing, we rarely met during the dive," he said.

In addition, in the area that has 48,707 inhabitants, there is also found signs of damage to the habitat. Damage is due to how the fish with bombs or poison.

According to the people around, catching fish in a way that was initially conducted by fishermen from outside Papua. But now there is a local son do this, because the way of making bombs or poisons have been mastered.

In addition to catching the environmental damage, illegal logging also occurs d reserve area on the island Waigeo. In fact Raja Ampat has a large potential for the development of land and sea tour.

The uniqueness of the world under the sea and the forest in the area is kept as a threat from the destruction of nature. Be pitied if the very heaven of the world is destroyed for the sake of right.
