1. Why choose February to April?
Refer tohttp://www.wordtravels.com/Cities/Malaysia/Sabah/Climate,Sabah has the least rainfall in these months, which means we have the highest chance to take part in all adventure activities.
2. Where does the money go?
I planned to join local tours for the“Mt Kinabalu + Via Ferrata” & “Mountain bike + white waterrafting”. They cost HK$3,500 and HK$2,000 respectively. Airticket is around HK$700 round trip from AirAsia. Five extra nightsin hotel would cost around HK$2,000. Remaining budget goes to food,traveling and miscellaneous activities such as snorkeling.
3. What is “Mt Kinabalu + ViaFerrata”?
Mt Kinabalu, 4095m, is the highest mountain in the south-east asia. Via Ferrata is a rock-climbing like activities newly installed to Mt Kinabalu. Please refer to the following website for details:

5. Information of the Mountain bike + white water rafting tour?
There are only a few numbers of mountain bike operator in Sabah, but I find this program interesting:http://ultimateborneo.com/malaysia/2009/12/biking-rafting/
For the white-water, Padas River is the definite choice. Details here:http://mount-kinabalu-borneo.com/blog/white-water-rafting-in-padas-river-sabah.html
6. Why I have to organize the trip soooooo early?
Mt Kinabalu packages should be booked 4-month in advance. If we go there in Feb2011, we have to book it in Oct 2010. Therefore, it is an appropriate time to initiate discussions.
Please let me know if you are interested, or tell me if you have any suggestions/recommendations/proposal. Thank you.
Regards,
Siu
