Wait... there's a “Little New Zealand” hidden in Sabah?! 🇲🇾🐄

#kotakinabalutrip Sabah isn't just about stunning sunsets and crystal-clear waters — it's also home to Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia’s tallest peak at 4,095 meters! The mountain is covered in vegetation ranging from tropical to alpine — like experiencing multiple climates in one place! 🏔️🌿❄️ 🔹 Just here to relax? No need to hike the mountain — just navigate to Pekan Nabalu Viewpoint, where you can catch breathtaking views of Mount Kinabalu. On lucky days, you might even see a magical sea of clouds! ☁️✨ 🧥 Due to the elevation and biodiversity, bring warm clothes and insect repellent. What else can you do nearby? Here’s a list for both chill vibes and thrill-seekers: 🌿 For a Relaxed Day Out: 🐮 Desa Dairy Farm: A scenic mountain farm with adorable cows and sheep — feels just like New Zealand! (Bit far, so optional) 🍍 Nabalu Town: A charming local town where you can try fresh tropical fruits and local dishes. On clear days, enjoy a full mountain panorama! 🐟 Eu Fish Spa: Let koi fish nibble at your feet — free fish food included! ♨️ Poring Hot Spring (Ranau): Enjoy natural hot springs in both open-air and indoor pools. 🦋 Butterfly Farm, Rafflesia Flower Spotting & Canopy Walk: Rafflesia (world's largest flower) only blooms briefly — ask ahead to see if it's blooming! 🚀 For Adventure Lovers: 🛻 ATV Rides: All-terrain vehicle rides — 1 or 2 people per vehicle, muddy fun guaranteed! 🪂 Paragliding at Mount Kinabalu: Fly high with a personal instructor — 2,200 feet altitude, ~15 mins of flight time. Sunset flights are extra dreamy 🌇✨ #travel
