Bored with the routine of comfort living? Sign up for Miki Survival Camp and let nature propel your survival skills to the next level.
A camp that is all about going back to basics, Miki Survival Camp is set in Kiau Nuluh Village, about an hour drive from Pekan Nabalu, Ranau plus another two-hour trek from the house of Sadib Miki, founder of this camp.
The hilly terrain leading to Miki Survival Camp is scattered with rocks, muck, and the occasional resident leeches. You will need a pair of leech socks and hardy hiking boots to brave this wild adventure. It is recommended that you invest in a pair of rubber soccer studs, locally known as kampung Adidas, and leave the fancy keds at home.
The two-hour hike will provide ample opportunities to marvel at the beauty of untouched nature—complete with the soothing symphony of chirping birds and insects. There’s also something very curative about the cool and misty mountain air, an instant pick-me-up to boot.
Along the journey, your friendly guide will introduce you to the edible fruits and vegetables in the jungle such as the longugan (something remotely similar to passion fruit, but smaller) and the cucumber-like tegiung. The guide will also point out the plants with medicinal values and those which are poisonous.
Upon reaching the camp, you will be served with delicious homemade food local style. Your guide will then take you on a tour to see the inner part of the jungle where another half of the mesmerizing flora and fauna dwell. After dinner, get your torch light and camera ready for a night tour where you’re bound to see nocturnal creatures such as some species of frogs and insects, as well as things that are only visible in the dark like the luminous fungi and fireflies.
Before leaving, your guide will give demonstrations on how to use and make animal traps and household utensils from bamboos.
