Bukit Gemok Forest Reserve

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:53:48

About 10km from Tawau's centre, this reserve is great for a day visit, the jungle filled with chattering monkeys and popular with trekkers and tour groups. About an hour's hiking will bring you to the Titian Selara canopy walkway , which at 231m-long, offers terrific views of Tawau and the countryside. There are seven huts along the way for walkers to rest and relax. Be on the lookout for enormous flying seeds of the gourd Alsomitra macrocarpa , gliding hundreds of metres through the forest.

A taxi to the park costs RM35 – make sure your driver either sticks around to wait for you or is willing to come back and pick you up, as there's little public transport out this way.
