At a jaw-dropping 3,289 meters above sea level, Pendant Hut is the ultimate pit stop on your Mount Kinabalu adventure, just a stone’s throw away from the legendary Laban Rata Rest House. Every day from 3-4 pm, get your heart racing with a pre-climb briefing that sets the tone for the epic journey ahead. When it’s time to rest, you’ll cozy up in dormitory-style accommodation with a trusty sleeping bag to keep you snug. Keep in mind, the hut is non-heated with shared bathrooms (no hot showers, but hey, it’s all part of the mountain charm!).
And here’s a fun fact to impress your friends: you can send postcards from the highest postbox in Malaysia, officially recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records—straight from Pendant Hut!
Tucked away on the wild and wonderful island of Borneo, Mount Kinabalu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that calls out to thrill-seekers from every corner of the globe. Ready for an adventure? Set off on a 2-day quest to conquer this iconic peak, starting from the Timpohon Gate, where you’ll find seven cozy shelters along the trail—perfect for grabbing a quick snack, chugging some water, and soaking in the beauty around you. After about 6 km, you’ll reach Pendant Hut, your mountain oasis, where you can kick back, relax, and dive into a good book or just enjoy the epic sunset views from its outdoor spots.
Oh, and here’s the cherry on top: your stay at Pendant Hut includes a free ‘Walk The Torq’ (WTT) via ferrata experience! Feeling too wiped out after the summit climb? No worries, you can skip it and just chill like a true mountaineer.
Between 6:15 AM to 6:30 AM, get picked up from your hotel in Kota Kinabalu and journey about 2 hours’ drive towards Kinabalu National Park Headquarter for registration. Please bring along your original passport (for international travelers) and original MyKad Identification (for Malaysians) for verification during registration.
Meet up with your mountain guide after registration and you will be given a Climbing ID Tag, which you are required to wear throughout the hike. Remember to collect your packed lunch (inform us upon making your reservation should you have dietary restrictions). Later, get transferred by the National Park shuttle to Timpohon Gate to start your 6 km hike up to Pendant Hut.
Upon arrival at Pendant Hut, attend the mandatory Via Ferrata safety briefing at 3:30 PM (if you miss this briefing, you are not entitled to join the Via Ferrata activity the next day). Enjoy the stunning view from the mountain area while waiting for dinner, which is served in Laban Rata at 4:30 PM.

At 1:30 AM, gear up. After taking your supper, start the remaining 2.85 km journey with your mountain guide towards the summit of Low’s Peak, the highest point standing at 4095.2 meters.
*Reminder: For the safety of climbers, Sabah Park has a cut-off time for the Sayat-Sayat Checkpoint at 5:30 AM. Those arriving after 5:30 AM will not be allowed to proceed with the summit climb.
Watch and enjoy the spectacular shades of the sunrise over the majestic Mount Kinabalu. Take turns at the Low’s Peak summit for photos, always paying close attention to your safety when at the summit plateau. Next, head to the starting point of the WTT Via Ferrata (Introductory Via Ferrata, French Grade PD) and meet your Via Ferrata trainer at Sayat Sayat Hut at 3,668 meters. All climbers must arrive at the Via Ferrata starting point before 7:15 AM. Climbers who miss the cut-off time will not be allowed on the Via Ferrata.
Later, descend back to the Pendant Hut for a well-earned breakfast. Check out and hike down to Timpohon Gate, where the shuttle will take you to the National Park. Collect your well-deserved certificate. Our transfer will take you back to your hotel in Kota Kinabalu or at Kundasang.
