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 diperocarp forest. The highlight of the adventure is to trek
the majestic 7 tiers Maliau Falls.
Keen visitors must, however, obtain a permission to enter
the Maliau Basin in advance from Yayasan Sabah. Also bear in mind that Maliau
Basin is a remote, atavistic and isolated area with limited access,
communications and safety facilities.
