PACKING LIST

For your comfort and well-being, it is important that you are suitably prepared and equipped for the trip. From as low as 3ºC in the wee hours of the morning to as high as 23ºC in the daytime, the weather on the mountain can range from sunny to misty to foggy. But even when it rains, it can create stunning visual treats with cascading waterfalls – a sight to behold on Mount Kinabalu.

While Mountain Torq will provide all technical safety equipment required for its activities, you can refer to this checklist on what you should bring for personal items. These are what mountain hikers would normally pack for a trip.
