Essential Things To Do In Sabah, Nature’s Precious Piece

I have made it! Yes, I have made it to the most celestially beautiful point of Malaysia. No jet lag, thanks to the direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu (Sabah’s main city). If adventurous runs in your veins, you can get here via train or bus. Needless to say, the journey will not be as straightforward as a direct flight. The place has much to offer to any traveller.

With 53% of land mass covered with forests, it is hard to spot wild animals in Sabah. You just need the ‘eye.’ For me, I got my camera shuttering along.
