World Wildlife Wednesday: Malaysian Borneo a Nature Lovers Dream
Hands down one of our favorite adventure destinations on the planet is Malasyian Borneo. Sabah and Sarawak are exciting provinces filled with beautiful scenery and exciting wildlife. We had never even considered venturing to Borneo during our Asian Adventure, but when a fellow traveler told us of a great deal on flights from Air Asia, well we just had to go.
Great Things to do in Malaysian Borneo
The Legendary Rainforests of Borneo bring to mind images of towering trees, abundant wildlife, raging rivers and memories of the days of the Headhunter, when tribes lived off of the land and had an intimate relationship with nature.
Mount Kinabalu, 2 Tough Days in Borneo
Our climb will be lasting for two days and within the first 5 minutes; I am already exhausted. My small daypack weighs heavy on my back as porters whiz by carrying giant barrels and cumbersome loads to supply the rest house, Laban Rata at 3500 metres. It makes me appreciate the high cost of bottled water. The walk up the steep grade and high steps is a struggle, but the views make it all worthwile. Rolling mountains of dense jungle under a vibrant blue sky dotted with fluffly white clouds.
