tration with booking huts on the mountain - claiming the booking system is disorganised
and inefficient, the huts are often full, or aren't full when they're told they are. Bookings
can be made online (but only if you book at least two nights), in person or over the phone
- our experience was that it was best to book at Sutera's offices in KK if you haven't done
so in advance.
The most common sleeping option is the heated dormitory (bedding included) in the
Laban Rata Resthouse, which sells for RM485 per person. If you need privacy, twin
shares are available for RM920. Three meals are included in the price. Non-heated facilit-
ies surrounding the Laban Rata building are also available for RM415 per person (meals
included).
The other option at Laban Rata is to stay at Pendant Hut , which is owned and oper-
ated by Mountain Torq (pricing is on par with Sutera). All guests sleeping at Pendant
Hut take two of three meals at Sutera's cafeteria, and are required to participate in (or at
least pay for) the via ferrata circuit. Pendant Hut is slightly more basic (there's no heat,
although climbers sleep in uberwarm sleeping bags). However, there's a bit of a summer-
camp vibe here while Laban Rata feels more like a Himalayan orphanage. Prices for
Pendant Hut are comparable to Sutera.
