Mount Trus Madi, or Gunung Trus Madi, is the second tallest mountain in Sabah. It is located close to Mount Kinabalu, and stands at a height of 2642 meters (8668 feet). Mount Trus Madi is the tallest point on the Trus Madi range. The mountain is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including pitcher plants such as the Nepenthes macrophylla.
Getting there
The road to Trus Madi leads from Tambunan. The upper slopes and peak are forest reserves. However, the mountain is surrounded by logging concessions. To reach the summit, take the muddy logging trails. A 4WD would be a necessity for the trip. Visitors are strongly urged to hire a guide. You can arrange for one at the Tambunan Village Resort Centre (tel: 087 774076). Be prepared to pay around RM200 per guide (for taking a maximum of 8 hikers). Porters will cost you RM150 each.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
