Visitors from all corner of the world make Bario as their holiday
destination to enjoy the nature, rustic scenery, and unspoiled tropical
rainforest. Hiking has emerged as a popular activity. A guided trek
into the "Ancestral Trail" in Bario's Pulong Tauh National Park, is one
of the most spectacular and demanding hikes in Borneo. Thanks to Volvo
Trucks Malaysia for their great corporate social responsibility (CSR)
initiative in the construction of the five conservation eco-shelters
which were built strategically along the treks leading to Batu Lawih, an
important land mark shrouded in local legend and myths.
