Mount Trus Madi

Situated near Tambunan, Trus Madi is Sabah's second highest peak (2,642m). Logging concessions surrounds it and the upper slopes and peak are wild and jungle-clad. Currently, there are plans to turn the mountain into a wilderness reserve. Independent trekkers must be well equipped and take all the food and water up the mountain. It is advisable to get a guide or at least get maps and assistance from the Forestry Department. With good maps or a guide, it is possible to go by a 4WD up to about 1500m, from where it is a five to seven hour climb to the top of the mountain.
