SABAH TOURS
Last Train of Borneo
Tour Code: KK10Duration - 2 days/1 night
This tour takes you to Beaufort, by road, then to Tenom on the last train in Borneo. From Tenom, travel by road to Keningau followed by visits to Tambunan and the Raffelesia Centre, and returns to Kota Kinabalu across the Crocker Range.
Note that due to railway maintenance, the tour will be done by road until further notice. We have not been provided with a date for resumption of service at this stage. We believe that the train should begin running later this year (2009)
Day 1
A train stop along the way
from Tenom to Beaufort
Drive about 2 hours overland to Beaufort. Board a train for the two hour journey to Tenom via
the scenic Padas gorge past tropical lowland rainforest, rubber plantations and native villages. Lunch
at Tenom before visiting the Agricultural Park (closed on Monday) showcasing gardens, tropical
fruits, beverage plants and spices at Lagud Sebrang. Continue by road 46km to the town of Keningau
where you will check in to your hotel for the night. (Lunch and Dinner)
from Tenom to Beaufort
Day 2
A Rafflesia in Bloom
After breakfast, continue to Tambunan before crossing the Crocker Range. Visit the Rafflesia Centre
(1,200m above sea level). At the Rafflesia Centre you will have one of the best opportunities to
see the largest flower in the world. It is one of the most likely places to see the Rafflesia flower
in bloom. Even if no flowers are open, you will certainly find some Rafflesia
buds. From Tambunan, return by road over the ridges of the Croker Range to your hotel in Kota
Kinabalu. (Breakfast and Lunch)
