Recently, I had the privilege to visit the Lost World of  Sabah, Maliau Basin… This trip involves sixteen of Sabahan nature lovers. We departed from Kota Kinabalu town on 15 October and returned by 18 October 2010. The cumulative cost for the trip was RM 4,640 which was shared equally among us. And this wasn’t including our personal expenses for the trip.

We departed from Kota Kinabalu at 0930 hours. Three four-wheel drive vehicles were involved to accommodate the 16 of us. Our route crossed Tambunan, Keningau, Sook, Nabawan and Sapulut.
