So, Let me first tell you a bit about 'Kota Kinabalu' - KK is a small town based out of Sabah in East Malaysia of South East Asia. Kundasang is based, around 2.5 hrs drive from Kota Kinabalu. Kundasang is the main spot from where trekking starts for Mount Kinabalu. There are few Islands around KK like Sapi Island, Manukan Island, Gaya Island and more.
