沙巴在眼前 – 神山公园 Kinabalu Park

神山公园 Kinabalu Park 是马来西亚第一个世界自然遗产 ,也是自然爱好者的圣地。我的两天一晚神山行是一个人纯自助,之前做了很多攻略,生怕去了找不到路回来 

去程是这个走法 “亚庇市独立大广场车站 (Padang Merdeka, Kota Kinabalu),每天有哥打京那巴鲁和兰瑙之间的班车会经过公园门口,早上7点至下午5点发车,1.5个小时到达公园,车费15马币左右。”

不过车不是按点发的,我在车站(其实也没有站的概念,就是个停了很多小巴的地方)干等了一个多小时坐满人才发车。车很小,幸好我找到了个好位置,能在狭窄的过道上安顿下我的各种装备。

神山公园门票很特别,15马币,可以连续用三天,第二天去售票处查验盖章就好了,超值。

两个白天时间,我几乎把神山所有开放的步道都走了。没错,就是走断腿的节奏。Garmin GPS的地图很棒,居然有比较完整的步道地图,让我在分分合合的山中步道上游走时多了很多信心,少走很多冤枉路。

雄鸟,但看不到红翅,只是两肋隐隐的有点红色,手册上婆罗洲应该就一种鵙鹛,应该不会错吧。

在神山的一晚上我是网上预定了 D’Villa Rina Ria Lodge。正值旺季,靠近神山的房子非常难找,D’Villa距离公园入口五百米之内吧,小小一间一晚上近三百块人民币。靠公园,周边环境不错,虽然傍晚到,次日一早离开,也看到几种鸟。

这个不太确认,不知道和上面一样,还是印尼鹃鸠 (Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove)。

看嘴型要细长一些,但眼睛还是和小鹃鸠一样的灰白。

还有两个没认出来的,可能是同一种,不是在一个地方看到的

这个就比较特别了。第二天下山途中,我看到几个观鸟人在路边观察,以为是遇上了什么鸟。带队的当地鸟导主动告诉我有条难得一见的viper。

于是,几个人一起围观了下近些年才刚刚发现的神山特有种kinabalu green pit viper。如果我一个人必然会错过它,虽然它就盘踞在离公路不到两米的灌木上

Kinabalu Park
http://www.sabahtourism.com/destination/kinabalu-park

Kinabalu Park is Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site. Also the Centre of Plant Diversity for South East Asia, the Park boasts more than 5,000 vascular plant species and the Park has no shortage of fauna as well, being home to some 90 lowland mammal species and many others. A list of plants found here are the infamous Nepenthes rajah; the world’s largest pitcher plant, Nepenthes x sukaibiensis; a natural cross-hybrid between Nepenthes lowii and Nepenthes burbidgae and the enigmatic Paphiopedilum rothschildianum (Rothschild slipper orchid) one of the rarest orchids in the world.

The main attraction at the Park is none other than the majestic Mount Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia standing at 4095.2 metres. Apart from traditional mountain climbing, visitors can also experience the Mountain Torq, the world’s highest and Asia’s first Via Ferrata or ‘iron road’ at 3,200m to 3,800m above sea level. To those who are more adventurous, there are other mountain activities such as Alpine Rock Climbing, Paragliding and also mountain expedition.

Now there are now 2 picturesque trails to the summit, Ranau Trail and Kota Belud trail. The trails will take climbers from Panar Laban (previously known as Laban Rata) at 3,272m to Sayat Sayat (3,668m). And then continue on to the summit trail to Low’s Peak at 4,095.2m. (Note: Both Kota Belud trail and Ranau are new routes to Sayat Sayat, the route from Sayat Sayat to summit is the same route used previously). The new trails may be more challenging than the previous trail, but climbers will be rewarded with breathtaking views along the way.

Surrounding the Kinabalu Park is a multitude of natural attractions and enjoyable activities such as mountain biking, golf, birding, farm tours, canopy walk and of course photography!

A variety of accommodation is available within the Park and in its surrounding areas, ranging from basic hostels to luxury chalets.

Essentials

A good vacation is never without some must-have essentials. As Kinabalu Park is located in a hilly area, it is best to pack up warm clothing and gloves to ward off the cold. Also, don’t forget to bring a highly water resistant knapsack and a raincoat in case it rains.

The rough terrains of Mount Kinabalu require its ambitious to-be conquerors to have comfortable walking/ tracking shoes with them. Last but not least, be well prepared with energy snacks e.g. chocolate, nuts, glucose sweets and a water bottle for fuel and hydration. As a safety recommendation, bring along a torch light in case one gets lost at night.

Important notice : Mt. Kinabalu is a popular destination, visitors who wish to climb Mount Kinabalu are advised to make reservations 6 months in advance to avoid dissappointment. The number of climbers is limited to 135pax daily.

 

Majestic Mount Kinabalu | Sabah, East Malaysia

Mount Kinabalu’s specialty lies in its location at a renowned World Heritage Site—Kinabalu Park. Nature lovers will be delighted to be able to witness the many variations of flora and fauna that are to be found on the mountain at different altitudes.

Mount Kinabalu, along with other upland areas of the Crocker Range is well-known worldwide for its tremendous botanical and biological species biodiversity with plants of Himalayan, Australasian, and Indo-Malayan origin.

A recent botanical survey of the mountain estimated a staggering 5,000 to 6,000 plant species (excluding mosses and liverworts but including ferns), which is more than all of Europe and North America (excluding tropical regions of Mexico) combined. It is therefore one of the world’s most important biological sites.

Standing majestically at 4,095m (13,435 feet above sea level), Mount Kinabalu is the highest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea. Mount Kinabalu derives its name from the Kadazan word, ‘Aki Nabalu’, meaning ‘the revered place of the dead’. It is one of the safest and most conquerable peaks in the world—provided that you’re reasonably healthy and physically fit.
