This 3-day 2-night climb to Mount Trusmadi gives you time to get yourself ready with an overnight stay at Tambunan Town. The climb is said to be more challenging than Mount Kinabalu with steeper terrains, muddier grounds and chillier weather, but we can guarantee that the view from the top is worth it all.
