The northernmost tip of Borneo is locally known as Simpang Mengayau. Some 40 kilometers from Kudat, a historically important town in the very north of Sabah MALAYSIA. 'Simpang Mengayau; has remained relatively undisturbed and was only recently "discovered" as a tourism destination. Pristine beaches, indigenous longhouses, secluded diving, intricate handicraft by the Rungus people - the ethnic entity that populates the Kudat Peninsula - await you along with villages where gongs are manufactured, simply the percussion instrument throughout Borneo. http://kudattravelguide.blogspot.com/

"relatively undisturbed and was only recently discovered" have me hooked. I did some looking into this and found out some nifty things. Did you know that Borneo is the third largest island in the world? Population 16 million (as of 2000), that is a huge number considering it is an island! Borneo is also known for its extensive cave systems. Clearwater cave has one of the world's longest underwater rivers. I would love to go and explore a cave, I would be a little hesitant though, as I think I am kind of claustrophobic.
I also found that: Nepenthes villosa, a species of pitcher plant endemic to Kinabalu National Park, Borneo.
This is an amazing plant, please look it up, it is truly something to make you stop and wonder. :)
