Mt Kinabalu

Thank you Borneo Calling for the efficient services rendered during our trip to Kota kinabalu 20th-25th Feb to hike up Mt Kinabalu on 22nd Feb. The cheerful disposition of Mr Lee, Abby and May, their punctuality, hospitality made our stay pleasant. We enjoyed the visits to the various places of interest. The sessions with Sabah Tourism and Daily Express were surprises that highlighted our trip. The hike up Mt Kinabalu was challenging but worthwhile. The scenery is amazing. Though we were weary after the climb, the delectable meals you arranged revived our spirits. Your programme catered satisfactorily to our pleasant travelling companions _age ranging from 20+ to 80+! Thank you to our organisers James Lee and Melvin M K San for choosing Borneo Calling.
