Anything else we should know

We reply within one working day. No deposit is taken at this stage, and sending an enquiry does not commit you to anything.

Before you send

Three things that make the reply more useful:

A month rather than exact dates, if you can flex
Whether Malaysian or international rates apply
Honest group fitness, especially for the treks

How far ahead to ask

Several months is normal, and more for the March to October window. Camp space at Nepenthes and Ginseng is the usual constraint rather than the permit itself, so trekking dates fill earlier than Studies Centre stays.

How the permit process works

Not sure which trip?

Say so in the form and we will tell you honestly, including if the answer is that Maliau is not the right destination for your group.

How this site makes money

We are an independent guide, not a tour operator. Enquiries are passed to a licensed Sabah operator and we may earn a commission if you book. It costs you nothing extra and does not change what we recommend.
