Accommodation
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.
