Salt Trail, Tambunan
The 34 KM jungle trail which starts from Tikolod Village, Tambunan and ends in Inobong Village, Penampang and vice versa provides trekkers a once-in-a-lifetime historically-based jungle trekking experience. The trail was traditionally used hundreds of years ago by villagers from the interior to exchange their produce in return for salt from the traders in the West Coast. It is a challenging 4-day journey passing through 3 remote villages (8 hour trekking each day) and luscious jungle of the Crocker Range. Expect to find interesting and weird plants along the trail.
