Rock Hostel ,
    Kinabalu Park , Ranau
    we stayed here for a night ( included in the package )
    before ascending to Laban Rata next morning.






    sky view in front of our hostel

    the Orion clearly seen



    Mount Kinabalu view from Rock Hostel

    Milky way




    the room has no attached toilet / bathroom ,
    so we have to share this toilet provided for each floor of the hostel

    our room.

    a room for four.
    no fans / heater , but that should not be a problem.
    ventilated with fresh air from outside ,
    and the blankets provided is good enough to insulate
    from the cold temperature.

   enough electric sockets for everybody.
