The big River at Kampung Melangkap, Kota Belud, Sabah

Visiting the River near Kampung Melangkap was an incredible experience. Located at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, the river is fed by the mountain's rain and moisture from the soil. When we arrived, the water was flowing at a gentle pace and the weather was not in sunny condition, but it starts to drizzle.

As the day went on, the downpour became heavier and the water in the river began to pick up speed. Eventually, the current became too strong for us to swim, so we took shelter under a canopy and spent the afternoon chatting and eating junk food.

Despite the weather, I was blown away by the beauty of the surroundings. The river is surrounded by lush, green forests and the towering peaks of Mount Kinabalu loom in the distance. There are many homestays in the area, as well as opportunities for camping, making it the perfect destination for tourists looking to get close to nature.

One of the things that struck me most about the big River was how well it was maintained and managed. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and there was a clear focus on preserving the natural beauty of the area. This made for a truly enjoyable and relaxing visit.

In conclusion, visiting the big River near Kampung Melangkap was a highlight of my trip to Sabah. The combination of the stunning natural surroundings and the well-maintained facilities made for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking to get away from it all and experience the beauty of nature, I highly recommend a visit to the Panataran River.

Kundasang Mesilou 3 Six Peak

 

If I remember correctly, this is the starting point where we paid RM5 per person.

Then, we proceed on the wooden plank walk, with a series of stairs all the way up the ridge.

My brother is enjoying the view in front of him

On the very top of the ridge, there is a viewing platform.

On top of the viewing platform, you get to enjoy a 360 view of the surrounding.

I guess maybe that is why they name this 3 sixty peak 😎🤙

Mesilou 3 Peak is located in the Kundasan Hills in Sabah, Malaysia. It lies on the north coast of the island of Borneo. A superb viewpoint lies at its peak and gives a spectacular 360-degree view of both the ocean and inland forests, hills, mountains and rivers at a height of more than 1,500 meters above sea level.

If you’re thinking of going there, you should do it during the dry season, like from April to September or November to March. The weather is hot and dry.
