Orang Utans, Monkeys & Hot Springs Flying to Borneo's east coast, we stay in a jungle lodge at Sepilok, our base for jungle walks and orang utan spotting. Cruising down the Kinabatangan River around Sukau, we hope to see unusual proboscis monkeys and, later on, to witness some of the hundreds of thousands of bats which live in Gomantong Caves. At Poring Hot Springs, there is the chance to relax and swim beneath the nearby waterfalls. A thrilling experience is the ascent into the rainforest canopy and walking along the 100-foot-high walkway which snakes through the treetops; brimming with wildlife, much of which is unique to this part of Asia.
Mount Kinabalu & Idyllic Beaches Heading into the Gunung Kinabalu National Park, we explore the rainforest and experience its diversity of animal and plant life - pitcher plants abound and the birdlife at dusk and dawn has to be seen (and heard) to be believed. There's a chance for keen walkers to take a mountain trail up through the forest, eventually reaching the mountain hostel which affords spectacular views across the forest and up to the peaks above. Next morning, the more energetic also have the option to make a dawn ascent to South East Asia's highest peak: the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Finally, we plan to visit the paradise island of Pulau Tiga where we can relax on idyllic white sand beaches or spend our time swimming or snorkelling in the tropical seas.

Borneo offers a magnificent range of natural wonders and experiences. On Mount Kinabalu the ascent to Laban Rata is graded moderate, the summit ascent as strenuous and is only suitable for those who are fit. Non-walkers may opt out totally and can spend more time in the National Park where there are some easy, signed trails.
