Borneo - Circumnavigating Mount Kinabalu- (10 days)
The Mountain Bike Adventure of a Lifetime
A 10 day expedition riding the jungles of Borneo while circumnavigating Mount Kinabalu, South East Asia's highest mountain. Truly unique
Following a jungle training and acclimatisation period, you will embark on this challenging adventure. Along the way, you will encounter narrow single tracks through tropical jungle and paddy fields; swing bridges, river crossings, gut-busting hills and exhilarating downhills on four-wheel drive logging tracks. You will exchange greetings with the very friendly locals while dodging the dogs and cattle, which lay claim to the roadways.
At the end of the day, you can refresh in a cool river or the sea, camping out in the jungle, local village, or the beach. An added bonus is the local guide, who freely shares his knowledge of local customs, jungle food and medicines.
