PANALABAN HOSTEL

Panalaban Hostel is a hostel-style establishment where you will share a large room with other climbers. It consists of two newly built blocks by Sabah Parks, Mokodou and Kinotoki, each accommodating up to 25 climbers per day. Like Lemaing Hut, it offers very basic facilities such as non-heated unisex dormitory bunk beds and a shared common bathroom. Every bunk bed comes with a thick blanket, pillow and bedsheet. There are no dining options accessible here - facilities and services are only available at Laban Rata Resthouse which is a 5-minute walk from the hostel.
