There is a reason why Sabah is called land below the wind
As the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of conservation and sustainable travel, Sabah continues to shine as a beacon of how nature and humanity can coexist harmoniously
Mount Nungkok, 1,650m from sea level, is also known as "Anak Kinabalu" or the child of Mount Kinabalu. Along the trail, hikers can enjoy the scenic beauty of the area, including the sight of Rafflesia flowers.
At the summit of Mount Nungkok, hikers can enjoy a panoramic view of Mount Kinabalu. The view is particularly breathtaking at sunrise or sunset when the colors of the sky enhance the beauty of the landscape.
We had the opportunity to climb the mount Nungkok. Even though we didn't reach to the summit, it was an unforgettable experience!

A "Tagal" area, is basically a stretch of river that is reserved by the villagers from any fishing activity. This area is exclusively protected and looked after by the community, therefore fish harvesting rights are exclusively theirs. In other words, protected river with abundance.
Compliment to the locals who truly care for this precious natural resources.
