Old Mt Kinabalu climbing fees will apply for bookings made last year

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah will stick to the Jan 1 increased fees for Mount Kinabalu climbers but will allow those who made bookings last year to pay the old rates.

The State Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry has come up with a formula to ease the burden caused by the price hike for the Mt Kinabalu Climb permit fee and the entrance fee to Kinabalu Park and Poring Hot Spring which took effect on Jan 1.
