Description:

The town of Kota Belud awaits you on your trip north from Kota Kinabalu in a private vehicle. This area also hosts the Kota Belud Tamu, the brightly-adorned Bajau horsemen, and the longhouses of the Rungus people, who create woven cloth and pieces with traditional beadwork as their ancestors did.

Bargains abound at the Kota Belud Tamu, a gathering of stalls with wares from many local traders, farmers, and fishermen. As you shop for untold treasures, take some time to watch Bajau horsemen— “the Cowboys of the East”—perform horse-riding feats in their famously colorful garb.

Honey bee farming and gong making are the respective trades of the natives at Gombizou and Sumangkap villages. Learn about these lasting crafts before taking a break for a sumptuous local lunch.

The Rungus longhouses at Kampung Bavanggazo showcase how the traditional architecture and family structure of this proud indigenous people has survived. Marvel at the intricacy of their woven baskets and cloth, and watch as their steady hands painstakingly stitch pieces with intricate beadwork.

As the city lights rise before you on your private ride back to Kota Kinabalu, reflect on a day spent in the company of these marvelous cultures.
