Bukit Kopungit Hiking Trail Head is a nature & park in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Open 24 hours.
Nestled near Kota Kinabalu, Bukit Kopungit Hiking Trail is a less-traveled route, making it ideal for hikers looking for a quiet, moderate climb. The trailhead is easily accessible from the city, located just off Jalan Pintas Penampang and a short distance from Plaza 333. Winding upward, this trail takes visitors through dense, green forest and scenic overlooks, with panoramic views of Kota Kinabalu and nearby islands at the summit. Though steep in parts, the trail is manageable for beginners with reasonable fitness. Hikers will often encounter diverse local flora and fauna, and there are spots to rest while taking in the lush surroundings. At the peak, clear skies provide a view of the coastline and Mount Kinabalu on clearer days.
This spot is less commercialized, so you'll find limited facilities. However, Plaza 333 nearby offers convenient stops for refreshments or essential supplies before starting your hike. Visitors should bring water, insect repellent, and wear comfortable, durable footwear as the path can be uneven and muddy in rainy seasons.
