The park opens at 0830hrs in the morning and close at about 1000hrs for registration and admin which is run by the Sutra centry lodge (Only for accommodation not for climbing). if you intend to visit this world heritage site the best to depart from the city is at 0730hrs when the sky is most clear and for the best view of mt Kinabalu. Also an early star means a relaxed and enjoyable journey, stop at one of the stall along the way to check out the local handicraft or just to try out some of the fruits or junk food that you ll find so many. the mt garden is one of the best place to stop by for an introduction of the plant life found on mt Kinabalu.
