Vihaanga Journeys was founded with a clear vision—to present India in its most authentic, comfortable, and meaningful way for global travelers.
Malaysian Borneo (Sabah & Sarawak) is a pristine, mega-diverse wildlife sanctuary holding some of the oldest tropical rainforests on Earth. This spectacular wilderness is legendary for harboring endangered species found nowhere else, most notably the charismatic Orangutan and the unique Proboscis Monkey. From taking a quiet river safari along the Kinabatangan River to exploring the ancient cloud forest canopies of Danum Valley or scaling the majestic granite slopes of Mount Kinabalu, Borneo is the ultimate ecosystem expedition for nature lovers and adventurers.
March to October. Navigating Borneo during the drier months offers optimal river conditions for wildlife spotting and maximizes trekking safety up Mount Kinabalu.
Stay in premium sustainable river-safari lodges along the Kinabatangan, deep jungle eco-resorts inside Danum Valley, or Kinabalu mountain hostels.
Observe orangutans undergoing rehabilitation, spot rare pygmy elephants along the muddy riverbanks, and listen to the dawn calls of gibbons.
