Forest Jewel tickets offer a choice of day, night and one-day admission for a visit in Mesilau, Kundasang. The right option depends on when you want to visit and what you would most like to see.
Start with your itinerary. A daytime stop can fit around other sightseeing, while an evening visit gives the decorative lights your full attention. If you want to experience both settings, look at the one-day option.
Choosing your Forest Jewel tickets
Day admission for a daytime outing
Choose this option when you want to explore the visitor area in daylight. It can suit a photo stop or an outing before continuing to your next destination.
Daylight also makes it easier to include the surrounding landscape in your photographs. Leave time to look around between pictures and enjoy the setting with your travel companions.
Night admission for the illuminated setting
Night admission suits visitors whose main interest is the lighting after dark. Plan it as an evening outing, with dinner and your return journey arranged around the visit.
Bring a comfortable outer layer and give yourself enough time to enjoy the displays. A relaxed evening usually leaves better memories than arriving with a long list of photographs to finish.
One-day admission for both experiences
Consider the one-day option if you want daytime scenery and the night atmosphere on the same visit date. Check the valid sessions and any re-entry arrangements when booking.
A one-day ticket should fit your actual schedule. If your group can only visit during one session, choose the option that matches that plan.
Match the ticket to your holiday
Think about where you will be staying that night. Visitors returning to Kota Kinabalu need to allow for the onward journey. Those staying in Kundasang may have more room for an evening outing.
Travelling with several people? Agree on the main experience before buying tickets. Some may be keen on photography, while others would prefer a shorter visit and an earlier meal.
Forest Jewel is within the Mount Kinabalu Golf Club area in Mesilau. Use the confirmed location pin for your journey, particularly if you are visiting the area for the first time.
What to include in your enquiry
Send your visit date, preferred ticket type and group size to TYH Borneo Tours & Travel. Include children’s ages and any guests who may qualify for senior admission.
If you need transport, add your pickup location and planned next stop. Admission and transport should be clearly identified in your quotation.
