| | Borneo - Exotic Island ParadiseWritten by Walter Rajah
SABAH is Malaysia's premier nature adventure destination situated in northern tip of Borneo Island, third largest island in world. Sabah is popular for its wildlife conservation attractions, rain forest, surrounding nature and islands, beach resorts, tropical white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, and its warm and friendly people. If you are thinking of visiting Borneo, these places of interest and activities will whet your appetite!Mount Kinabalu Let me begin with my favorite place and definitely not to be missed if you are visiting Borneo, Mt. Kinabalu (4,093m). It is summit of Borneo and tallest mountain in South East Asia. This mountain is sacred to locals. Thousands from around world have trekked to its peak. At feet of this mountain is Kinabalu National Park, a botanical paradise where rare plants are found: rare orchids, nepenthes pitcher plants and rafflesia, largest flower in world. Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre If you haven't heard yet, most popular native of Borneo is Orang Utan. The world-famous Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre enables visitors to come in close contact with these amazing animals. This sanctuary allows visitors to witness an exciting conservation programme in action. Set in 43 square km of beautiful rainforest, sanctuary helps once captive Orang Utans learn to fend for themselves in wild. Watch how these orphaned Orang Utans being taught to climb, and then go to a platform where you can witness them coming in from within forest for their daily meals of milk and bananas. Danum Valley Rain Forest If nature is close to your heart, then this next destination I am going to introduce you is a must visit, Danum Valley. Danum Valley is nestled deep in rain forest of Borneo where nature is at its most pristine. As you travel deeper and deeper into jungle, you will suddenly come across a magical paradise of Borneo Rainforest Lodge (BRL), erected overlooking magnificent setting of Segama River and flanked by tall hill ranges. BRL is an impressive resort, designed by naturalists and built on stilts using traditional timber materials, and has comfort of a 3-Star Hotel. I totally recommend Danum Valley to those who yearn to see wildlife in a primeval Borneo rainforest - rare Sumatran rhino, proboscis monkeys, Orang Utan, elephants and over 275 species of birds.
