SALT TRAIL
The Salt Trail in Crocker Range, Sabah, is a historic 34–40 km jungle trek once used by the Dusun and Murut people to trade salt and other goods between remote villages and the west coast. The trail, which takes 2 to 4 days, passes through dense rainforest, steep hills, rivers, and traditional villages, offering a mix of adventure, culture, and biodiversity. Located within the Crocker Range UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it is home to unique wildlife like Bornean gibbons and hornbills.
