KUNDASANG is a scenic area, comprising 16 villages sited on the ridge of the Crocker Range in Sabah.
It is very well known for producing highland vegetables and when one mention vegetables, thoughts of cabbages, capsicums and tomatoes always come to mind. They are usually found being sold in stalls sited besides the road.
Kundasang is a tourism site due to its scenic panorama. The mountains here look very interesting and photography buff will like their 'crumpled' looks, as well as the highest of them all, Mount Kinabalu.
Mount Kinabalu is the highest peak in Borneo's Crocker Range and is the highest mountain in the Malay Archipelago as well as the highest mountain in Malaysia.
Other sites of interest here is the War Memorial, which is located near Kundasang Township. It commemorates the soldiers who died during the infamous Death March during the Second World War.
At that time 2,345 Allied prisoners of war held captive by the Empire of Japan  died after they were marched to Ranau from Sandakan POW Camp. Only six survived.
Other places that are of interest besides throwing down the gauntlet for Mount Kinabalu are trekking and visiting the Kinabalu Parks.
For those who wish to stay the night in Kundasang, there are no dearth of accommodations, which includes good chalets, hotels and homestay.
Kundasang is about one and a half hour drive from Kota Kinabalu, the State Capital.-AG
