Mount Kinabalu Botanical Garden

#kotakinabaluguide
Unique Borneo Flora on Display
The unique species housed at Mount Kinabalu Botanical Garden are truly what sets it apart. As a traveler passionate about endemic plants, I was blown away. The sheer variety of orchids—many of which are miniature and highly specialized—is mind-boggling. The staff have done a brilliant job of collecting and exhibiting the most significant plants from the various altitudes of Mount Kinabalu in a concentrated, manageable space. It gives you a real appreciation for the "biodiversity hotspot" status of Borneo. The trails can be a little hilly, so wear proper walking shoes, but the paths are paved and easy to follow. Anyone looking to learn about Borneo's flora should make this a non-negotiable stop. This is a must-include for any detailed #kotakinabaluguide itinerary focusing on nature and conservation.
