Tour Overview

This 2-day, 1-night Mount Trus Madi climb is perfect for hikers seeking a quieter, more rugged alternative to the popular Mount Kinabalu. Standing at 2,642 meters, Mount Trus Madi is the second-highest mountain in Malaysia, located within the protected Trus Madi Forest Reserve in Sabah. Known for its untouched rainforest, rare flora and fauna, and panoramic summit views, this hidden gem offers a challenging yet deeply rewarding trekking experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

Climbing via the Kaingaran Trail from Tambunan, you’ll begin your journey on a 3km boardwalk through lush montane forest, ideal for birdwatching and plant spotting. Spend the night at Walai Tingkoyodon Rest House, a rustic mountain lodge with basic facilities, before embarking on a pre-dawn summit hike to catch the sunrise above the clouds. Compared to Mount Kinabalu, Trus Madi is less crowded, more remote, and physically demanding, making it a top choice for experienced hikers looking for a unique mountain trekking adventure in Sabah.
