Maliau Basin (Sabah’s Lost World)

“Nature explorers will simply love the Maliau Basin as it is an excellent site for jungle trekking and bird watching. It contains an unusual assemblage of 12 forest types, comprising mainly of lower montane forest dominated by majestic Agathis trees, rare montane heath forest and lowland, and hill dipterocarp forest. The highlight of the adventure is to trek the majestic 7 tiers Maliau Falls.”

The diverse ecosystem makes an excellent jungle experience. At night, visitors may also take a night drive for wildlife spotting. Water babies can also take a dip in the beautiful waterfall.

Visitors must obtain permission to enter the Maliau Basin in advance from Yayasan Sabah. Also bear in mind that Maliau Basin is in a remote, atavistic and isolated area with limited access, communications and safety facilities.
