Tawai Rainforest Camp (TRC) — Attraction in Sabah

Tawai waterfall it's a perfect place to get fit.Approximately it's about 6km-ish to the Waterfall, and other back.

Trails are clear, took 2 hours to reach(depend on your fitness level) and 1.5 hours down. Make sure bring enough water to stay hydrate and sun protector as you will get sun burn easily.

To the Waterfall it's up up up.

If it isn't raining, there aren't many leeches. But put on a pair of L.socks in case.

It's a little slippery on the way down. So a trekking pole will help.

You'll cross two small streams (bigger if it's raining). Some waterproof shoes will help (or a pair of dry ones waiting in the car on a rainy day).

It's worth a visit, if you are in the area or passing by.

Personally, it's more epic when it rains, the Waterfall is more intense. A little cold, so put on one more layer.

Lastly, don't litter. There are some garbage at the end of the trail, bring in a bag to clean it up if you feel like...

We stayed at kundasang for a night before driving 2.5hrs to tawai rainforest camp at 5am. Some parts of the drive were horrible.

I would recommend arriving there earlier around 7am, and start your hike as soon as possible because most of the trail is not covered by trees, so it gets really sunny and hot. You must bring UV protection clothes and plenty of water. Bring isotonic drinks for an energy boost. You will need it.

The hike is mostly uphill, 6km one way, and the terrain can be really slippery, so bring your good traction shoes. The mud also will stain your shoes, really badly, so bringing Adidas kampung is really the best choice.

But when you reach the waterfall, its all worth it. Its a really underrated place and more people should go.

Our trail guide name was Mike, he is the best guide cuz he waited for us when we...

Not bad for hiking I see. It is about 11km hikes. You need one or more preparation before deciding to go here, track are rocky and slippery and of course muddy on rainy day. You’ll need proper shoes and any other attire for hike there on the exposed sunlight just in case you are prone to sunburn 😂 and also not forget to mention to bring food and snacks with you all time. You going to need it for sure😆😆 when you reach the top, you will go down about 300m and then you will see one of the most epic waterfall in Sabah. If you’re lucky, you get the swim on it.. Wonderful memories...
