THE NABALU MARKET

On the way to Mt.Kinabalu park and Poring Hot Spring, a brief stop at Nabalu is recommended. It is located about 90 minutes drive from Kota kinabalu.   
Visitors can find a rich variety of local products, like fruits, vegetables, snacks and handicrafts in this small market place and enjoy the spectacular view of the Mt.Kinabalu on a clear day.       
It was our lucky day, the magnificent Mt.Kinabalu was cleared of cloud on our arrival
The 15-Meter Nabalu tower provides a bird eye view of Mt.Kinabalu and it's surroundings.
 Local handicrafts.
One of the fruit stalls
Pineapples in season.
Farmers selling their products along the walkway.  
"toilet break" - 20 cents per entry 
Nabalu has many unique offers to souvenir hunters in handicrafts like tribal arts, bead crafts and etc.     
Many will spend about 15-20 minutes at Nabalu before proceeding to Mt. Kinabalu Park which is approx., 30 minutes away.
