As Sarawakian who live in rural area at Borneo island, jungle is our daily view and our childhood playground. I wanted the Borneo island stay underrated.
This island is divided by 3 countries that are Malaysia , Indonesia and Brunei ...Right ?
@Wael Faraj malaysia and Brunei are more developed. Sipadan is one of the top diving spot in the world in sabah.
@@waelfaraj6705 yeah..u right.
I agree with you. I’ve seen so many places get destroyed by over tourism. Very sad. And it is not lost on me that I’m one of those tourists.
Some places can be turned into natural reserves .
Plus , tourism can be regulated somewhat to be green , sustainable and environmentally friendly...
I believe your guide was a Comando during his service. and especially if they from Sabah or Sarawak, they are the best in the jungle.
Amazon - only 55m years old.
Borneo and malaysian rainforest - 130 to 140m years old
The oldest rainforest is queesland's daintree forest.
How old is Daintree? What is the youngest?
@@dubuyajay9964 daintree is 180m years old.
Only 55m .. ok
Keep the forest safe and sound my fellow Malaysians! Salam dari Indonesia 💕
❤
I'm reading an old book called "Into the Heart of Borneo" right now that details an expedition there of two scientists back in the 80s. Jungles are so fascinating. Super well shot video!!
no no, his the first
Would like to read it
added it to my cart ❤
I'm from Tambunan and it's 4 hours away from Imbak Canyon. Gotta say, the rainforest is absolutely magical and holds its values. It left untouchable by the government to preserve it. I love nature and I hope you'd enjoy your stay here. Cheers!
Hello fellow Tambunanian! Watching now from Minnesota!
That rainforest is really like a scene from Avatar, glad to watch what you found!
You are amazing for putting such a wealth of content in such a short amount of time!
If I have the opportunity to explore the rainforest , I will definitely choose to go with you, I believe it will be a lot of fun!
Great job, thanks a lot for sharing！👍🥰🙏
The scene from Avatar is in China.
@@LH1xx sebagai orng indonesia saya minta maav akibat ulah over pround.
@@gioaxe4538 it look similar you know. Not really overproud to say you're happy they come to our place or say something is similar to a certain movie even though its not the reference. Maybe you don't know how to use overproud?
@@RoryRoo yes yes brother. Indonesia is the best 💪🏻 since Ramayana to Srivijava to this day.
Forest expeditions excite me a lot. This episode will witness some very extraordinary experiences.
We were some of the first tourists ever to be invited out here so I felt the same way. Was beyond excited to be able to trek deep into this jungle and it was worth the LONG travel days 🙏🏼
@@lostleblanc You are so brave, I learn from you.
Last week my drone got lost in a deep mountain forest with no human footpath. But for lack of courage I can go to find😔
@@lostleblanc I don't believe you that nobody goes or went there before you guys. You are a liar.
Lucky me. I was in Sukau rainforest lodge - Sabah in 2019. 2 hours by boat inside of jungle. Paradise on Earth.. pigmey elefants, crocks, proboscis monkeys, hornbills, and wild orangutangs... would love to come back.. Thank you for your videos 😘
As someone who's born in Sabah and grew up there, really grateful and happy you guys got to be there and experience the nature! iirc Imbak Canyon wasn't really known amongst the locals until a few years ago (would say even some locals today wouldn't know about it) cause like you mentioned it on the video, the area was newly discovered. Made me happy to know the people there are passionate about it and really thankful they're preserving the place!
Hope you guys enjoyed your stay at Sabah and thanks for the wonderful video
and about the "can't go into the water for a swim" thing, while they might be keeping it preserved or for safety reasons, Sabah natives also has this "adat" (custom?) that nature should be respected bcs we believe they have spirits, kind of like animism. And some places in the forests shouldn't be bothered less there will be consequences
hey there! i didn’t know swimming was considered bothering. For my parents who also believe that, they only thought us to not be negative, and to try not to do number 1/2 in the jungle😂
Hii, I was just guessing that it could've been one of the reasons why they were told to not swim in the river, maybe the guide didn't want to spook them. Or it could really just be to preserve the river/water.
I swam in rivers before, but i always avoided the deeper parts of it bcs of real stories I heard from relatives where people's legs were being pulled down- it's better to be safe than sorry i think @@Yuremiko 😭
Another one location you need to travel and visit, the Maliau Basin forest, known as Sabah's lost world.
The location between Kalabakan district(You need access from Tawau district) and sepulut sub district.
You make forest journey video like National geographic.
Wow, Borneo is where my family is from! Thanks for exploring this beauty
This video was so great! Glad you brought back the adventure and exploration! Borneo forest is so beautiful
Thank you for coming to Sabah and sharing your experience to the world.❤
Thank you for coming to Sabah and sharing your experience to the world
Wise, you have a local guide with you. Don’t be like that SAS soldier in the past thinking he was skilled and experienced enough to go solo. He ended up having to be rescued by Malaysian soldier. Don’t underestimate the Borneo Jungle.
Those were British soldiers from hk under training but was unauthorised to go there.
Idiots... A jungle rescue costs plenty money and lost man-hours
OMG. I just stumble to your youtube channel and subscribed already. I fell in love with the way you write all the species name and the information about them. I lived in Borneo for 5 years and i've only went jungle hiking in the Danum Valley once. I'm so glad seeing this again. I miss Sabah. Will go there again in the future. I really want to go inside the Maliau Basin but haven't find my chance yet. Manifesting it for the near future.
Spectacular scenery from the rainforest and great video🎉
Thank you for coming ! My hometown ❤
That forest looks so beautiful - you captured it so well. Borneo is such a beautiful island, we're super jealous, but you've made us want to go visit it ourselves now!
Nope, he didn't capture it well. they've been in just a very tiny portion of the island. there are better videos and vlogs about Borneo than this.
No matter wat, just visit borneo plss??
@@benjaminstephen97 We have visited Borneo on our channel and visited Sabah! We want to visit the rest of Borneo also however including Kalimantan and Sarawak as soon as possible! 😁
@@DisappearforDays im waiting. Thanks😁
This world is full of wonderful and incredible place i cant imagine that is places exists on this planet
Love it! Definitely on the list
Superbe reportage bravo Justin . Quelle expédition !!
Borneo island has its own unique eco systems.
Case in point: they found a species of leech, the Kinabalu giant red leech (Mimobdella buettikoferi), that dined on Kinabalu giant earthworm, Pheretima darnleiensis near Mountain Kinabalu, the highest mountain on the island.
Thank you for taking us with you on your amazing adventure :)
Forest adventures are the best..
Awesome bro! We are going to Borneo for 2 months! Super excited! And this video got me even more excited
All the best with your adventure
@@keangwooichoo6138 Thanks Keang!
You are a legend.. I'm photographer from Malaysia and I never know about the existence of this place. Although it's not that surprising for me, it is still a very interesting place to add to my list. Thank you for exploring my beautiful country.
dudeee
I smell Fisher
The next time if u donno about sabah and sarawak, go ahead and learn maps. Or ask ur mommy and daddy to teach more about borneo so that the cowards from west malaysia stop criticise sabah and sarawak
Loved this! You’re the gold standard!
Petronas is the pride of malaysia. One of the most profitable oil company in the world.
man, I need to explore my country more. it's gorgeous. Even more so in Sabah and Sarawak
Love this style of video. Seeing the raw nature. ✨
Loved this one dude. Incredible footage
Nice one, elevated quality while maintaining a genuine vlog experience
Thank ya!!
Love this kind of videos 😍😍
The way off his teaching is outstanding❤️💯
I love Sabah..
I love Malaysia 👍🇲🇾❤️✌️😊
That is why Sabah Borneo are given the names like 'Land below the wind' & 'The lost World'.
Maliau Basin is definately a lost world. You'd think you are lost somewhere in Jurrasic Park guys.
As for the Tiger fish, yes some parts do have them. Although not as much documented as the African Tiger fish, I think it may just be as deadly.
You are lucky to have a real life Rambo as your guide.
I kinda like the quality alot I'm running out of words to describe how amazing these designs are! They're simply phenomenal, and I can't stop admiring them. I mean nike always
Thank u for this wonderful video n for showing your explorations in Sabah.
Welcome to Borneo of Sabah....the oldest jungle in the world...thank you for showing this to the world
that is not the oldest jungle in the world
Not the oldest but the oldest rainforest jungle
Wow middle of nowhere and you have proper accommodation! Can't imagine how the British SAS and Sarawak Rangers trained during WW2. This place is now in my bucket list. Thank you!
Thank you for the great footage ever. As a Malaysian, i never had an experience like this before. Thank you for bring me to the absolutely amazing experience 🥰
Jungles are so fascinating. Super well shot video!!
You guys have a grate journey dude!! In Borneo, Sabah and Sarawak have a huge virgin rain forest and if you look into Peninsular Malaysia you can fine it at Pahang and some part in Johor and Perak and one more think you guys should ask local people over there to fine orang asli village . Trust me it's very interesting.
it's "great" not grate. Learn how to spell.
7:55 Wow! That brings back our Scout survival camping back in the days albeit not as hard core as that but we enjoyed making a DIY shelter... This video is bring back memories!
I hope you guys would make a trip to Julan Waterfall or the one called The Three Sisters Keluan Waterfall.
Best video for me so far!
Keep up more of videos like this. Terima Kasih!
Thanks for this video. Proud to be born in land of borneo
Hope you enjoy Sabah mate!❤️🤙
Amazing videography, I would love to just travel and explore the world 🙌🏽
Thank you 😁
Beautiful...! This is where you can find your true self....
Loved how beautifully you captured it.. amazing content 👏...
welcome to sabah! highly recommend to come to kota belud or kundasang these places is very advantures
I demand part 2 🙋🏻♂️ 20 minutes is not enough
my man thanks for the journey
I went to Imbak Canyon in 2013 before they finished the construction of the research centre, it was a privilege visit for us as we were given permission to follow the trekker at that time. This place is amazing
Welcome back to Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you 🙏🏼
for American or European which never been in South Asia jungle, i suggest try for the first level, Pahang National Park in Peninsular Malaysia, up to 2nd level try any great park in Sabah or just climb for Mount Kinabalu. For 3rd level Sarawak Jungle, just try explore Mulu National Park and follow the longest jungle tracking trail. After this 3 level, it may help for basic knowledge before explore other jungle in other countries.
South EAST Asia ✅
5 mnts into d video I already love it
Tks bro ❤👍🏼
Harap keindahan alam di Sabah dan Sarawak dpt dikekalkan cuma perbayakkan lgi smua kemudahan utk penduduk2 Kampung dan bandar
Welcome to Sabah, Borneo! Thanks for sharing & making vlog about imbak canyon, please & come visit our island near Semporna, hiking the Mount Kinabalu. Have a great time bro! Everyday is Holiday 🌴
But pls inform mp apdal to clean up semporna and mabul as it breaks my heart as a local.
Welcome to Borneo, there is so much more to explore, just scratching the surface of the Jungle...all the best 😊
Amazing video ❤❤ the nature is so beautiful
Very interesting.There are still many unexplored places of interest in Sabah. I suggest you go inland Ranau and try hiking activities at Taralamas River Canyon,Kampung Tiang Lama Ranau.I believe,you will feel the atmosphere like being in another world.
I wonder how much effort you put into this Christian! Researching the name of the plants and animals must be a pain in the *ss! Great vid as usual!
I am not sure if he was sponsored by Petronas. My national oil company. Who knows.
Glad you experienced the rough and tumble of travel for a change, it shouldn’t always be perfect, luxurious, expensive to enjoy! Infact these types of places off the beaten track are the most memorable, adventurous! Years ago I travelled west coast USA into Baja Mexico, the green tortoise bus company, two older Retired lawyers with plenty of funds chose these types of holidays with culture over expensive cruises with lots of comfort and stuffy people.
Great content Lost LeBlanc
Thank you 🙏🏼 😁
Fully agree to the title given by travel vlog Guru Christian - Borneo is the Amazon rainforest of Asia. And it looks so ancient and almost untouched by human - a treasure trove for the botanist, zoologist and ecologist . Great work and lot of thanks for showing us this area of our planet.
Such a great experience!
Amazing Video in the Beautiful Country!
Greetings! From: Sabah, Philippines.
Welcome to East Malaysia bro! There are more to explore here in Sarawak and Sabah!
Glad that finally you are coming here! I have been followed your journey for a very long times!
Just so happy to finally know that you are visiting East Malaysia!
NEXT TRIP : Come to Sarawak! And will love to have you and showing, eating amazing foods in Sarawak! 😊
Will add Bornea to my travel list. 😁
So cool. This is awesome. What a waterfall.
Love sabah from Sarawak
i can understand ur thrill feelings… i went to taman negara tanjung piai in johore… me n my friends trekked with orang asli (local malaysian indigenous people) as our guide… we found fresh tiger paw print.. n keep trekking until we reached a sort of flat area with chest high overgrows… while chilling out… our guide told us to follow him bk to our base camp… while walking down.. only he told us a tiger was not faraway frm where we were chilling out.. the tiger was staking us out.. 😐😐..
Yup, Johor forest area actually home to many harimau malaya hence the name of southern tigers. I remembered during my school camping at Gunung Ledang , forest ranger came and guarded our camp site as they found fresh tiger paw print just near our camp site that night. We certainly didnt sleep well that night, scared as hell.
@@hawaandroid2786 scary yeah when knowing mr tiger is just arnd the corner……. 😅😅.. my team were scolded also for swimming at the river … reason being that time was dry season in april… n tigers usually will come down to the river to drink n cool off…. we were lucky that day.. no tigers came to join our river party.. 😅😅
Imbak Canyon is much smaller than Maliu Basin. You should visit there as well the real life Lost World
I used to watch your videos in college and now I live in Bali too :) Thanks!
Thank you for the video
Wow that looks incredible! You are so lucky to be able to do that! I always wondered what the other 90% of Indonesia people don't go was like!
Was feeling the same way. So grateful to have had this opportunity.
This video is in Malaysia part of Borneo. Had nothing to do with Indonesia.
I loved your vlog but i want you to explore the The Sahyadri moutain range in India. Which looks like heaven on earth in mansoon. Visit Kulu waterfall in Mansoon. ❤😊
Those dolly zoom shots are amazing
should give the tour guide a mad respect for being in the military and survived the forest training. search for malaysia ggk special force in youtube. u will know how badass are these guys. your tour is in a safe hand if he is your guide.
after exploring imbak canyon you should try the Maliau Basin tour.. I'm sure you won't regret it 😉
Maliau Basin ...the lost world 👍🏻👍🏻
You should visit Maliau Basin as well since you're in the region.
Great experience! SABAH land below the wind..
Thank you 👍🙏🏻
Amazing. I live in Myanmar.
I love your content and most importantly bali.
Thank ya!
you guys are amazing , really enjoy watching your video😍😎
Love this video 😍
You should visit Biogradska Gora in Montenegro. One of the last pre-historic rain forests in Europe.
How old?
INSIPIRATION!!! Hey leblanc i just made my first travel vlog as a 15 year old and i feel like its so terrible i have no idea how u talk to a camera so easily!
so good, defo keen to get there
As always good video 👍
We have visited Taman Negara or national park in the western provinces of Malaysia...
In the high mountains , it gets really cold ...
Yes at night it can be cold but also dangerous.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Are there wild animals there in these rain forests ?
@Wael Faraj yes. Tigers, elephants, pythons, panthers. To name a few. If these big stuff do not kill you, the scorpions will.
@Wael Faraj it is the same as amazon and other places. Malaysia is only 1 out of 17 countries with mega diversity on earth. Eg Madagascar, Australia, india, china, usa, Brazil, indonesia, philippines, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, peru, Ecuador, Papua, south Africa, Congo. Predators are always around. Recently one aboriginal guy was attacked by tiger while making a tent. Rangers are looking for his remains.
@@keangwooichoo6138
At night , We have resided inside guest houses in the western area or national park of Taman Negara in Malaysia ( west peninsula)...Inside the guest houses , it is safe ...Outside ,
We have only seen monkeys and a scorpion there but never seen elephants or tigers ...
Went to Brunei, the actual Hearts of Borneo with jungle as old as the earth. Only Brunei and Sabah the only countries that will protect the jungle.
Brunei or Sarawak?
Wow imbak canyon center of Sabah. Thank you for visiting Sabah North Borneo bro
wow that looks amazing
drone shots at the beginning 👌🚀
Bringing the cinematic 📸
The honey from those stingless bees are very expensive
In malay those bees are called Kelulut
Their honey is medicinal
This is cool,I love this video
