MALIAU BASIN
Often called Sabah’s Lost World, Maliau Basin is a truly unique Borneo ecosystem. A pristine natural amphitheater ringed by steep cliffs and largely untouched by human hands. This remote, 600 square kilometer conservation area holds primeval landscapes, from cloud-draped plateaus to roaring waterfalls. Entering Maliau is like stepping back in time, into a world few have witnessed.
