Another Trip to Kundasang

The invitation to attend the wedding lunch of one of my staff at Puteri Nabalu in Kundasang on 27.12.2024 gave us an opportunity to spend a night in Kundasang. 

We last visited Kundasang on 26.03.2023 to attend a get-together in conjunction with Bahai's New Year. Vasanti and her husband VJ are both Bahai and they love to spend this occasion with friends and former colleagues. We drove to Kundasang to join their friends to celebrate this occasion.

Gathering on 26.03.2023 at the D'Terrace.

D'Terrace is operated by the family of the ex-lecturer couple of Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Keningau (IPG), VJ and his wife, Dr. Vasanti (Couple at the left of the photo). Two ladies at right are former Directors of IPG Keningau.

For our latest trip on 27.12.2024, we decided to spend a night a the D'Terrace. D'Terrace has a commanding view of Mount Kinabalu, but lacks an open space and a reasonable large car parks. The steep terrain and the exceptionally internal steep road network are also not ideal for casual outdoor walk and movement. For family with young children, Hill Kinabalu Homestay where our whole family gathered for overnight holidays back in July 2022 is probably a more suitable location (Read here).

Fortunately, the "site constraint" is somewhat makes up by a little cafe at the foothill where we had our breakfast the next day on 28.12.2024. We did enjoy the unique landscape and the mildly shrouded view of Mt. Kinabalu.

Notwithstanding 27.12.2024 was a working day, seven staff members and two Directors turned up for the reception lunch at Puteri Nabalu. The bride, Shera, an engineer is a fairly new staff who joined the company just over one and half years ago in June 2023.
