Amazing Sabah | Top Things To Do

At the Mari Mari Cultural Village, five indigenous groups – Kadazan-Dusun, Bajau, Murut, Lundayeh and Rungus – showcase their tribal traditions. Over at Kinabalu Park, Malaysia's first World Heritage Site, you can hike up to Low's Peak on Mount Kinabalu and be rewarded with a magnificent view.

There's also the Mt Kinabalu Botanical Garden, with over 800 species of plant life, and Poring Hot Springs, where the mineral pools are said to have therapeutic properties. From KK, she travels to Ranau to the Sabah Tea Garden, the only organic tea plantation on Borneo, and then she's off to Kundasang War Memorial, built in honour of Australian and British soldiers who died in the notorious death marches of WWII. If you can, catch the scenery at Desa Cattle Dairy Farm, and don't miss eating the local fruits at the street markets along the way. A must try is tarap, which is native to Borneo.
