The Mount Kinabalu Summit Trail is quite expensive as there are only two operators that compete with each other on top of the mountain (where the resthouses are). Costs have gone up over the past years, but are still affordable if you must put a price on the wonderful experience this trip will be. Below a list with the separate costs. Not all prices are accurate, but it gives a good impression of the general price of a complete trip to Kinabalu National Park.
