|  Trekking possibilities are not difficult to come by in
Sabah. The dramatic landscapes from the coast into the rugged interior
present opportunities for one day or multi-day trekking trips. The
best places for this activity are the parks and protected areas
where trails bring you through pristine rainforest and cultivated
land, villages and across rivers. The hills and mountains offer
added challenges for the fit and adventurous.
This is one of the best ways to discover the beauty of Sabah, not
only in its environment but also the people and wildlife that live
harmoniously with nature. You can camp under the stars or spend
the night at a traditional village and learn of cultures that have
survived through time. Folklore and age-old practices of the indigenous
peoples are closely linked to the forest. Their knowledge of trees
and plants that can nourish and heal are truly remarkable. And their
skills in finding their way through impenetrable forest with just
their instinct is a lesson in survival that is lost to many who
have left to settle in towns and cities.
The forests hold many surprises of sights, sounds and smells. Trekking
allows you the luxury to experience all of these and will leave
you with a deeper appreciation of Sabah’s natural world.
