I think you can do the whole track in 1 day, but the basecamp is quite nice to chill and food is great so I recommend for getting used to the altitude. However there is no hot water in the shower :S :)

After 6 kilometers, a good 1400 meters in altitude and 4-5 hours you reach the base camp in Panar Laban, which means something like sacrifice place, bathed in sweat.
Here the first climbers around Hugh Low celebrated a sacrificial ritual to pacify the soul of the mountain before climbing the mountain. This festival is still celebrated once a year.
Today there are various huts for overnight stays and a restaurant, where you can get some refreshments before storming the summit.

I was at Kinabalu in 1992. Climbing the mountain is of course a must if you are physically fit. The climb is not technically difficult, but it is quite strenuous …
