Maliau Basin in central Sabah encompasses 58,840ha or 588sq km of pristine forest, and was once described by a website as ?one of the few remaining relatively untouched wilderness areas in the world?.  The Maliau Basin Conservation Area, among the least explored regions on Earth, is regarded as a must-visit destination for not only scientists and researchers but also tourists, particularly hikers. Nature explorers will simply love the Maliau Basin as it is an excellent site for jungle trekking and bird watching. The highlight of the adventure is to trek the majestic 7 tiers Maliau Falls.

Touted as ?Sabah?s lost world?, Maliau Basin is a remote and isolated area containing a rare assemblage of 12 types of forests. Further in the thick jungle, the seven tiered Maliau Falls stands as one of the most astounding sights here. Tours to Maliau Basin are best done in groups. The destination is only suited for serious naturalists due to the limited communication facilities and amenities. 

Prior permission must be obtained from Yayasan Sabah and visitors must be accompanied by guides or rangers. The nearest towns to Maliau Basin are Tawau or Keningau. From these towns, Maliau Basin is accessible via fourwheel drives and the journey to its security gate takes about five hours. Alternatively, helicopter rides are available. If you plan to come to Maliau Basin, make sure you have enough time to properly explore the place as there are just too many things to experience there.
