Discover the untouched wonders of Borneo on this 4D3N Maliau Basin Expedition, exploring from Maliau Basin Studies Centre to Nepenthes Camp and Ginseng Camp. Known as Sabah’s “Lost World,” Maliau Basin is one of Malaysia’s most pristine and biologically rich rainforest ecosystems. Begin your journey at the Maliau Basin Studies Centre with a comprehensive briefing before venturing into the dense jungle. Trek through lush primary forest, cross suspended bridges, and immerse yourself in rare biodiversity en route to Nepenthes Camp — named after the iconic carnivorous pitcher plant found in the area. Continue deeper into the basin towards Ginseng Camp, a remote and serene site surrounded by towering trees and tranquil streams. Along the way, experience Sabah’s incredible flora and fauna, including orchids, hornbills, and possibly even wild mammals. Designed for adventurous spirits and nature lovers, this expedition offers rustic accommodations, guided treks, and the chance to explore one of Borneo’s last remaining wilderness frontiers.
