Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Day 1	Kota Kinabalu	Sample delicious Malaysian food or scour the city markets for local handicrafts.
Days 2-3	Mt Kinabalu	It's a tough trek to Laban Rata, at 3,300 m above sea level and with a pre-dawn start the following day, but sunrise at the summit and the spectacular views make it all worth it. There's nothing quite like standing atop South-East Asia's tallest mountain.
Day 4	Turtle Island	Witness the life cycle of giant green turtles and be touched by the incredible obstacles tiny hatchlings must overcome to make it to the sea.
Day 5	Sepilok Orangutan Reserve/Sukau	See Borneo's most endearing creatures - orangutans - in Sepilok before heading out on a boat in search of proboscis monkeys in Sukau.
Days 6-7	Kota Kinabalu	Venture into the cathedral-like caves of Gomantong, home to millions of bats and swiftlets, en route to Sabah's capital.
