Often called the 'Land Below the Wind' because it lies below the typhoon belt. Sabah occupies the eastern part of North Borneo and is Malaysia's second largest state with an area of 74,500 sq.km. Sabah has the South China Sea on the west, and the Sulu and Celebes Seas on the east.
Mountainous and largely carpeted by lush tropical rainforests, its population of nearly 2.5 million is made up of 32 colourful ethnic communities, each with its own unique cultures and traditions.
Kota Kinabalu, the state capital, lies in a fertile lowland plain where most commercial and administrative activities are concentrated. However the treasures of the 'real' Sabah can best be found in its countryside.
Kinabalu Park, home to awe-inspiring Mount Kinabalu, is listed as Malaysia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, due to the incredible diversity of plant life and wildlife. It provides a challenging climb amidst a lush virgin rainforest, where you can find hidden hot springs in cool high altitudes.
The famous Sipadan island, located off the south eastern coast of Sabah, has been one of the top five dive sites in the world for years. This is attributed to unique underwater geography that encourages proliferation of wildlife. Leatherback turtles, barracuda and white-tipped sharks are a common sight while diving in Sipadan.
