Maliau Basin: Sabah’s Lost World (Hardcover)

In the local Murut language, Maliau could mean basin, referring to the area’s crater-like form with its steep mountainous rim; or the Land of the Giant Staircase, for the many spectacular step-like landforms and falls. Maliau is truly unique in terms of geology, and natural communities of plants and wildlife – many rare and yet to be studied. It has remained largely unexplored until fairly recently – which is why it is often referred to as Sabah’s Lost World, a treasure for all Malaysians to behold and protect.

With spectacular photographs, this beautiful coffee table book showcases Maliau’s mysterious wilderness alongside more practical information on trails and logistics for visitors.
