KUNDASANG - 2 YEARS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE

From Mt.Kinabalu park, we continued our drive to Kundasang, some 6.5 km away. It took us about 11 minutes to get there. 
Approaching Kundasang town 
Mt.Kinabalu Heritage Resort and SPA (formally the Persaka Hotel) situated atop a hill approximately 5,000 feet above sea level providing a commanding view of the majestic Mt, Kinabalu. On a good day, the panoramic view of Mountain offers a breathtaking view from viewing point of the resort.
Mt.Kinabalu viewing point located near the hotel's garden.
That afternoon, we could not see Mt.Kinabalu from there because of the misty weather. 
The Heritage resort has 12 units of chalets built amidst the pine trees accessible through the hanging bridge from the main hotel building.
From the hotel we moved to Mesilau area passing the roundabout.
A steep descend to the valley.
A holiday lodge
From the valley, it's all the way uphill.
The Desa Cattle farm.

As heavy rain clouds were looming on the horizon in Mesilau resort area, we decided to back-track to Kundasang.  
U-turn back to the valley
From Kundasang, we headed for home
From a distance, the mist was seen moving in.
  It was misty most of the way.

It was a good outing to visit Mt. Kinabalu park and Kundasang area in a lapse of more than two years after the earthquake. There were no significant damage around the areas except for some landslides still under repair and maintenance along the road.
