Along the way, you will pass a total of 14 crosses planted by St. Phillip Roman Catholic Church of Tamparuli. Every year during Easter Day, Roman Catholic locals participate in a mini pilgrimage up the hill for the “Stations of the Cross” event, stopping at each cross to commemorate Jesus Christ’s last day on earth as a man.

Enjoy panoramic sights from the peak’s clearing, with the breathtaking backdrop of the majestic Mount Kinabalu and the shimmering river snaking past the rustic Tamparuli Town. If you are fortunate to climb with good weather, you would witness an incredible sunrise kissing the lands with gold!
