Borneo

16th - 29th October 2012

We are so excited to announce our new destination for 2012... BORNEO...  this country offers amazing trekking opportunities. Join us on the ULTIMATE adventure in the jungles and mountains of Borneo.
 

The fascinating Malaysian island of Borneo, offers an ideal base for exploration of indigenous cultures, limestone formations, jungles, forests and an array of wildlife, with a chance to spot the famous orangutan. We start be exploring the caves of Mulu National Park, before trekking through the jungle on the ‘Headhunters Trail’ and tackling the rugged ‘Pinnacles’ trek on Mount Gunung Mulu. We also visit the Poring Hot Springs and enjoy a swim in the hot mineral springs.

The climax of the trip is a trek up Mount Kinabalu, historically the mountain has been a sacred spot and the subject of myths and legends!! Ascending through the diverse forest which is home to many species of orchids, pitcher plants, birds and butterflies we arrive at Laban Rata Lodge and rest. Very early the following morning we ascend the peak under torch light. The  mountain is sometimes steep, but all the effort is worth it as the sun rises over the highest peak in Borneo at over 4000m and we enjoy the stunning views over the jungle and ocean
