It was indeed a very different experience for me especially the visit to the Butterfly farm.
The beautiful, sprawling, Kinabalu Park which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located in Sabah, a state in Malaysia. The park is situated around two hours away from Sabah City Centre.
If you are staying at a hotel around Sabah City Centre, the package includes a pick-up and drop service right from your hotel.
The pick up is scheduled 8:15 am onwards if you choose the Kinabalu Park + Poring Hot Spring package and 7:15 am onwards if you opt for the Kinabalu Park + Poring Hot Spring + Desa Dairy Farm package. Kinabalu Park is a two-hour drive from Sabah City Centre.
There are primarily two packages that you can choose from.
The first one, priced between Rs. 2900-3400 per person, includes a Kinabalu Park Tour and a trip to Poring Hot Springs. You can relax in the hot sulphur bath tub here, at an additional cost.
The second package is priced between Rs. 3600-4200 which includes a Tour of Kinabalu Park, a trip to Poring Hot Spring and ending your day after a visit to the Desa Dairy Farm.

The Canopy Walkway in Poring is a 175 metre long walk on a narrow suspension bridge built at a height of 43 metres above the ground.
The bridge laced with polyester ropes and surrounded by lush greenery is a favourite among tourists. T
The height, elastic build, and ladder rungs make it a thrilling walk, and at the same time extremely scary. Owing to which, this is not recommended for tourists with heart problems, high blood pressure and Acrophobia (fear of heights).
