| Waterfalls in Kinabalu National park
|
|
The Kinabalu National Park is of course famous for the Gunung Kinabalu, the pitcher plants and the bird life. But there are waterfalls too! Many of them will never have been visited, because there is no access. However, a few are accesible.
When you start climbing to Gunung Kinabalu, after passing the Timpohon gate, you will pass the Carson Fall.

Timpohon Gate can look very grim, when it is misty or rainy weather. | 
Not far from the gate you will pass the Carson Fall |
The waterfall is not spectacular but the location is scenic and you can fill your water bottles here.
After climbing the mountain, many people spend a night at the Poring Hot Springs Resort to relax. This is still part of the large Kinabalu National Park (754 square kilometers!)

The Hot Springs are a perfect place to soak your tired limbs, after the strenuous climb of Kinabalu Mountain |
It is only a short walk from the hot springs to an attractive waterfall, the Kipungit Fall. You can take a refreshing bath here. When you continue the trail, you will reach the Langanan Fall, but we had no time to visit this fall.
