Have you ever expected to climb the Mt. Kinabalu just to watch the sun rise or ever imagined of having breakfast with the Orangutans? Never! But then these unexpected experiences are surprisingly typical highlights in Borneo. Travel through the wild untamed lands of Borneo and discover a magnificent unknown world. The lush land of warriors, mysterious head hunters and far-from-home war heroes has charmed adventurers, anthropologists and explorers for centuries. From steamy jungles to blissful mountains, balmy beaches and serene villages, most travellers love Borneo's bounty of natural treasures ostensibly tailor-made for fun, relaxation and adventure.

Reach these spectacular islands of Borneo by bus will deeply enhance your journey. Take online bus tickets from redbus Malaysia and witness its impressive mountain vistas and jungle streams, exotic flora and rare fauna. Vertigo inducing gorges and vast network of underground caves is a breath of fresh air for most wildlife lover and outdoor enthusiast. With so much on offer, it's hard to choose which places to visit. To help you make this tricky decision, I have listed out some of the best places to visit once you step into Borneo.

1. Mount Kinabalu, Sabah- this is one of the Southeast Asia’s most impressive peaks. Despite its height Kinabalu is a relatively easy to climb, and upon reaching the summit hikers can admire striking views.

2. Mulu Caves- Located in Sarawak is one of the most popular national parks in Borneo, and there is no reason to wonder why. The park’s untouched wilderness makes for brilliant trekking and wildlife spotting. Formed over millions of years, the Mulu Caves are made up of a complex network of deep gorges and vast caverns stretching across long lengths underground.

3. Kinabatangan River- This river is best explored by boat and the banks can be spotted with teeming wildlife. The grand Kinabatangan is the second longest river in Malaysia. Sustaining one of the world's richest eco-systems with an impressive variety of animal species and interesting habitats - such as salty mangrove swamps and lime stone caves - it a real treat for wildlife enthusiasts/lovers.
