For members seeking the ultimate adventure and immersive learning experiences, The Sabah Society organises expeditions to Sabah’s more remote and challenging regions. These journeys typically span three to four days and require camping gear, careful preparation, and participants with proven experience and physical fitness.
Past expeditions have included remarkable undertakings such as ascents of the Eastern Plateau and the original Hugh Low Trail of Mount Kinabalu, treks through Imbak Canyon and Maliau Basin, and climbs of Mount Trusmadi and Tambuyukon. Each expedition is led by experienced team members who bring extensive knowledge of Sabah’s natural and cultural landscapes. Participants benefit from hands-on learning in areas such as ecology, geology, conservation, and local heritage, and they often share their insights later through public talks and publications in the Sabah Society Journal.
