Inukiran is the epitome of an authentic Rungus village with a flouroushing traditional cottage craft industry. The village is home to the ‘Monungkus’ Collective, or the “heirs of heritage” in the Rungus language, which produces traditional hand-loomed textiles, hand-woven baskets, and exquisite beadwork as well as keeping the spirit of the performing arts alive.

Hermond Magupin, its founder, is at the forefront of reviving cotton and indigo cultivation and processing, a tradition at risk of extinction. Visitors can also observe the orange profusion of the seasonal flowering of Marang-Parang trees and rubber tappers at work, as well as trek in the hills of the Matunggong forest reserve, which offers breathtaking views of the Kudat Peninsula. If you wish to experience communal living, you can book a slot at a traditional Rungus longhouse on a hill, set in the midst of a rubber plantation.
