Story of Mount Kinabalu
Mount
Kinabalu is the most dramatic feature in Sabah and the tallest peak between the
Himalayas & the New Guinea. Towering at 4,095 metres (13,435 feet), Mount
Kinabalu exerts a magical quality that is both indescribable and unbelievable.
The granite peaks are constantly veiled in wisps of clouds which sometimes
resemble a graceful woman peeping coyly from behind the veil. At times during a
clear day, the summit reveals a distinct glacier carved pinnacles, rising from
the smooth granite dome, exuberating tranquility and peacefulness.
The mountain
itself represents one of the world’s youngest batholiths: an old magna chamber
that was forced through the earth’s crust. Though young, it is the central
focus of Kinabalu Park and the legends of the KadasanDusun people, Sabah’s
largest ethnic group. The KadasanDunsun believe that the mountain is the sacred
resting ground of the spirits of their ancestors.
