The Long Pasia Homestay in Sipatang district offers an eco-tourism programme to get to know their one and only Christian community, inhabited mostly by the Lundayeh tribe.

Gunung AlabĪ homestay experience is one of the best places to get to know the various ethnicities in Sabah. There are also a couple of trails such as Aura Montoria, a 2.5-mile loop trail near Kota Belud, Sabah that takes you through some hidden waterfalls and open vantage points - somewhat of a hidden gem within Kampung Sayap. Lots of community-based tourism ventures begin here at Sayab substation where you get to experience local life in a Dusun village, learn about fig tree farming and how these fruit farmers make it work.Ī fun fact: fig trees are considered a keystone plant because most fruit-eating species depend on them and nurturing these wild fig trees opens up opportunities for a chance to encounter wildlife animals in an ultra-exclusive way! Located in the district of Kota Belud and further north of the main station of Kinabalu National Park at Kundasang lies a village that is perfect to spot nocturnal critters, camp among the fallen clouds and explore hiking trails. There’s the mystique and appeal of Mount Kinabalu but there’s also the forgotten substations that surround Kinabalu - and Sayab substation is one of them.
