Jungle Survival Trekking

So what to expect when doing the jungle survival trek i hear you ask?

The jungle will swallow, chew, spit you out and swallow you again, chew you and by the time it spit you out that is the end of your trip. You will smell like hell, look miserable with minor cuts but have a big satisfaction smile on your face and glad that you did it with L.O.S.T Borneo. An authentic experience that tick one of your bucket list while you are in Borneo.

This living off from the jungle with rough it up style of trekking is conducted inside a non-touristic lowland jungle located either 2 hours northeast or southeast drive from Kota Kinabalu.

With limited food supplies and water, armed with machete you will trek 5-6 hrs daily along with our experienced guide on an undulating terrain, crossing rivers, climbing hills and a chance to swim at the waterfall.

Our guide will share the hands-on skills on how to use machete, find food, water, navigation, jungle craft, build up fire, cook in a primitive way and more as you trek inside the jungle.

You will sleep inside the jungle using hammock and tarpaulin hanged in between two trees under the stars with campfire each night at a different location; on top of the hills, spurs, inside valleys or by the rivers.

You will see less or no wildlife during this trip because of the noise, the movement and the smell from you that make them go away before you even see them. On top of it, their colour looks like the jungle. If you want to see wildlife sign up for our Deramakot Forest Reserve wildlife safari trip

• Perfect for travellers with vegan or vegetarian dietary as most of the food are greens collected from the jungle.
• Long pants with t shirt and trekking shoes is a go to jungle fashion.
• Bring 35-40 litres backpack, insect repellent, headlamp, long pants, sock and jumper for the night, toiletries, towel and flops. Leave extra space on your backpack to carry 2 bottles of water, hammock, tarpaulin and food that you collected from the jungle.
