No wonder the local Chinese call the mountain ?? (translated either “spiritual mountain”, “God’s mountain” or “mountain of spirits”).

Once I climbed Mount Kinabalu for the third time, 24th December 2008, I was climbing down the mountain with my high-school friends and two guides, I experienced something that made me believe that Mount Kinabalu is a place where we should not mess around.

While I was climbing down, I was really tired and kept on asking the guides how many hours till we reach Timpohon Gate. One of the guides told me to think of anything else to kill time. Then I thought about snakes.

After a few minutes of walking, one of my friends told me to walk quickly. I did and as I turned back, I saw a snake walked passed behind me. I was shocked and my friend told me that the snake was about to bit my leg as it has already lifted its head. Fortunately, I had walked quickly when my friend asked me too.

From that incident, I started to believe that Mount Kinabalu is a place where you should not mess around.

Yup… we are living with other God creations… not to disturb them. As a Muslim, we must believe in that….

hi Doctor,
we have been to Gung KK 4 times, twice the occasions the pictures we downloaded from the camera into our PC, some showed faces on the rock.
Mysterious, but we take it as what the local mountain guide tolsd us, Gunung KK is their ancestors’ resting place and we must respect it.

How true it is to take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprint when we deal with ” natures”

Of course we must take out the rubbish and not litters on mountains & the jungles

Hi there Dr Rizad. Like your blog. Thought I’d share my experience. It was in Aug 2007. You can say I have a pretty sensitive spirit (grandma was a bobohizan) and I felt the presence of a being beside me during my climb. Not till the peak but the first part . Maybe not as dramatic as the experience of the others but it was pretty eerie to have an invisible climbing partner!

Have a great week!
