Enjoy rock climbing at Batu Caves

Summit Malaysia’s tallest mountain

If you’re someone who never says “No” to a challenge, then climbing Mount Kinabalu will be your perfect tonic. Littered with boulders, slippery routes and wooden staircases, patrons will need to have their wits about them at every stage of the trip.
