Looking for a hiking adventure in Kota Belud? Mount Nungkok, also known as Anak Kinabalu or the “Child of Kinabalu,” offers an unforgettable challenge. The 6.8 km trail takes you across a hanging bridge, through thick bushes, and up rocky paths that grow steeper and more demanding as you near the summit. But the reward is worth every step. At the top, on a clear day, you’ll be greeted by the breathtaking sight of Mount Kinabalu standing tall and majestic before you.
