Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Local Customs
Remove shoes before entering temples or homes. Point with your whole hand, not a finger. The head is considered sacred — never touch anyone on the head.
Leave No Trace
Pack out all rubbish. Stay on marked trails and paths. Do not touch, feed, or disturb wildlife. The natural beauty of Mount Kinabalu depends on every visitor treating it with respect. Take only photos, leave only footprints.
