Climbing Package Ordering
Dear online visitors :
Please read this important updates before proceeding to fill up the order form on the next 2 pages.
The main accommodation provider, Sutera Sanctuary Lodges (SSL) has announced that they will increase the accommodation price for the resthouses in the Laban Rata area, starting from the 1st of January, 2008. They reserved the rights to change the price in the future as well.
| Accommodation in the Laban Rata area consists of :- |
|
1) Laban Rata Resthouse - With Room Heater, bunk-bed sharing basis. 2) Gunting Lagadan Hut - Without Room Heater, bunk-bed sharing basis. 3) Panar Laban Hut - Without Room Heater, bunk-bed sharing basis. 4) Waras hut - Without Room Heater, bunk-bed sharing basis. |
We used to help most of our online visitors to book for non-bundled accommodations, but we feel sorry that we are not able to do so, from this moment onwards, due to the rectification done by SSL.
All of the accommodations are now being bundled into package style, that means, all of the accommodation will appear as a 3 Days 2 Nights package, meals will be included. 2 Days 1 Night package is still available, bundled with meals, but then they are only going to allot very small percentage of the accommodation for 2 Days 1 Night package. In another words, it is not easy to get a 2D1N package, compare to the 3D2N package or some other bigger package.
For individuals like you and I, it is always hard for us to get any accommodation. This is due to the limitation on the availability of the accommodation up there in the middle of the mountain (Laban Rata area). There are only about 130++ accommodations available, PER DAY. In a nutshell, to get an accommodation through a local tour company / local tour agent, will definitely be easier than to do it on our own. (Well, you get the picture now, about why we recommend our online visitors to use an agent rather than to book the accommodations on their own.)
Since everything has changed, our recommended agent has made changes to their packages too. They are going to provide all-in-one package from now onwards (please check on the price of each package on the next page). For any confirmed tour packages (which if the payment has been made), there will be a non-refundable payment of RM150 per person, should there be any cancellation requested for any tour package.
We are sorry for any inconveniences caused. We have no choices other than following the trend. Thanks for your understanding on our situation.
