Orou Sapulot

Going into head hunter land has changed a lot over the years, with the main danger now being overwhelmed by the amazing hospitality of the Murut people. The Murut were the last of the ethnic groups of Sabah to renounce head-hunting and are now very happy to tell you tales of life living in the interior of Sabah while drinking rice wine from ceramic jars and enjoying the fantastic local food, much of which is foraged from the jungle.
You will have the opportunity to scale the very impressive and challenging 250m limestone pinnacle known as Batu Punggul, explore mysterious caves, and sleep on stretcher hammocks in jungle camps. Traditional Murut longboats, hidden water falls, caving, traditional food, music, dance and rice wine, this trip into the green heart of Borneo has a lot to offer. 
Not many venture here, but if you do, it is likely that you won't see another tourist on your visit.
