Description

Mount Trusmadi, at 2,642 metres, is the second-highest mountain in both Sabah and Malaysia after Kinabalu and the main peak of the Trusmadi Range. Though lower than Kinabalu, it is widely considered a tougher climb due to steep, muddy trails and minimal facilities, and is famed for rare flora such as Nepenthes rajah.
