“Tagal”, Tambunan River
Fancy something more unique than your average spa? Then head on to Kampung Monsorulung Tambunan for a fish massaging session! In the Local Dusun dialect, “tagal“ means “no fishing“, and the main purpose of the “tagal“ is to preserve the environment as well as the ecosystem to benefit the future generation. “Ikan Pelian“ or Malaysian Mahseer comes from the family of Cyprinidae.
