INTRODUCTION (OVERWIEW)

Situated on the beautiful island of Borneo, Sabah is one of the thirteen states which Malaysia is made of. Sabah is the second largest state in Malaysia and shares the island of Borneo with Sarawak, Brunei, and Indonesian Kalimantan.

We have it all, from the world’s largest flower - the Rafflesia, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia - Mount Kinabalu, to one of the world’s top dive sites - Sipadan Island. Sabah is also known for her great natural treasures which include the world-renowned Danum Valley Conservation Area and Tabin which is Sabah’s largest wildlife reserve.
Not only will you be amazed by the places to see and things to do here, you will also be treated with unique Sabahan hospitality. Explore the unique culture and tradition of Sabah and get ready to experience sweet memories to last a lifetime! Sabah is often referred to as the "Land Below The Wind", a phrase used by seafarers in the past to describe lands south of thetyphoon belt.

The tourist industry of Sabah has matured and has been expanding in recent times, but still the state is successful in maintaining the virginity of its flora, fauna and its beaches.
Mt. Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia at 4,101 meters is also situated in Sabah. The region is also known for some very rare and protected, endangered species, including the Sumatran Rhinoceros, the Orang-Utan, the Mousedeer, the Flying Squirrel and the Barking deer. Considered a 'botanical heaven', it contains some of the rarest plants on earth, such as the smelly Rafflesia.
Be it the tropical rainforests, luscious beaches, delicious Malaysian cuisine, or the welcoming spirit of the Malayan people, Sabah is a place where nature and man come together to form paradise.

    There are so many nice places scattered across the country. Every place has its own distinct features. I have visited so many places of scenic beauty and tourist interest. But the visit which has a lasting impression on my mind is the visit of Sarawak’s Mount Mulu National Park. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It is said to be the heaven on earth. It has the accolade of being “the most spectacular caves on earth”. The complex network of vast caves were formed over millennia the flow of water draining from the slopes of Mount Mulu towards the sea has cut deep gorges through the Park’s limestone mountains and, within the rock itself. I was wonderstruck to see the ravishing beauty of the Mulu Caves. Mount Mulu National Park is one of the most bewitching places on earth. It has been a great attraction for the tourists all across the country and abroad as well.…

    The Malaysian Island gives a good view of the ocean and the breeze that blows around the beaches is rumored to be refreshing. In Malaysia, I would like to visit one of the five star beach luxury resorts. The resorts are situated between the rain forest and beautiful sandy beaches. I have also read according to “Tourism Malaysia About Us” the beach gives a good view of the sun setting. The rain forest make the sea coast warm, by blocking winds that would cause cold effects to the beach and this will make the environment suitable for tourism attraction sites. With that in mind, I could imagine taking advantage of the services that is offered on the beaches. I would enjoy my experience in the refreshing environment and at the same time gaining knowledge of this gorgeous island. The beaches of Malaysia are known to have the added advantage of being relatively unknown.…
