Introduction

Drive across the mist-shrouded countryside of the Crocker Range thru the Gunung Emas Highland Resortwhere treetop cabins are each built around huge tree trunks in a commendable effort to conserve the natural habitats. On the way you will also stop at the Rafflesia Information Centre Tambunan to check whether there is any blooming of the Rafflesia- the largest flower in the world. Keningau is the most important town of the Interior South and is the gateway of the timber industry linking the West Coast Interior and Tawau.

About another half an hour ride from Keningau is Tenom where Lagud Seberang Tenom Agriculture Park is situated. The Lagud Seberang Tenom Agriculture Park house a collection of over 1,000 types of crops which are economic importance from all over the tropical regions around the world.
