Kinabalu Park derives its name from Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Southeast Asia, which is prominently located within its boundaries. The word “Kinabalu” is believed to originate from the Kadazan word “Aki Nabalu,” meaning “the revered place of the dead.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Situated in the Malaysian <\/a>state of Sabah <\/a>on Borneo<\/a>‘s northern end, Kinabalu Park spans an impressive area of about 754 square kilometers surrounding Mount Kinabalu. The park, established as one of Malaysia’s first national parks, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It boasts a diverse ecological range, transitioning from lowland rainforests to alpine meadows as one ascends the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kinabalu Park was established in 1964 and later inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. This recognition was due to the park’s significant biological diversity, with habitats ranging from rich tropical lowland and hill rainforests to the towering peak of Mount Kinabalu. The park plays an essential role in conservation, research, and promoting environmental awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kinabalu Park, with its diverse ecosystems and majestic Mount Kinabalu, offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty and adventurous activities, making it a must-visit destination in Borneo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Name Kinabalu Park derives its name from Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Southeast Asia, which is prominently located within its boundaries.
