I received an email asking me about other mountain climbing sites in Malaysia. After so much research (including going to Sabah Tourism Center) to look for the information, I managed to get these. As of end 2006, this is the latest list for mountain climbing sites in Malaysia.

Unfortunately, I only have the information on Mount Kinabalu. You have to look somewhere else for other mountain. For your information, ‘gunung’ is mountain in Malay.

* = The highest three mountains in Malaysia is situated in Sabah.

Clothing and Equipment Advisory

• Comfortable long-sleeved shirts and pants for protection from leech bites, abrasions and the elements.
• A hat with a wide brim against intense sunshine and light rain.
• A poncho or rain cape.
• A pair of gloves and a balaclava will help protect you from cold summit winds.
• Wear roomy lightweight jungle boots with good ankle supports and deep-ridged sole, and wear two pairs of socks to prevent blisters.
• A comfortable rucksack with padded shoulder straps, hip belt and internal frame is a must.
• A map and compass for navigating jungle trails; under some dense jungle canopies the sun might not be clearly seen.
• A whistle is a useful tool for attracting attention and signalling others.
• A basic first aid kit for the treatment of abrasions, insect bites and wounds.
• Extra batteries for your tochlight; candles and matches.
