<h1>My Mount Kinabalu Mountain Guides</h1>
I have personally hand picked some of the best Mountain Guides to join my team! They are mostly natives to Kundasang, a town just beside Mount Kinabalu. These natives are known as “Dusun” and their life and culture is simple, friendly and welcoming. The modern natives of Mt Kinabalu live in foothills and valleys whereby majority of their families earn their living through farming and selling vegetables from their land, builders at construction sites, simple jobs in shops, resorts, plantations and vegetable markets. Many have also gone to find better opportunity in Kota Kinabalu city, whereby I have so often heard that the elders from the city still sends money to their families and relatives in Kundasang!
Amazingly, there are some of those whom are destined to stay with their closely knitted families in Kundasang, thrive to make a difference as Porters and Mountain Guides of Mount Kinabalu! Over the years, I have been able to befriend many of them, gaining their trust and support while offering my climbers safer and steadier climbs with their help as Mountain Guides.
