Mount Trus Madi

Mount Trus Madi (Gunung Trusmadi), at 2,642 m, is considered the second highest mountain in both Sabah and Malaysia after Mount Kinabalu. It rises in the Trus Madi Range in Sabah's Interior Division, within the 184,527-hectare Trusmadi Forest Reserve, home to distinctive flora and fauna including the pitcher plant Nepenthes macrophylla and the natural hybrid Nepenthes x trusmadiensis named after the mountain. It offers a tougher climbing challenge than Kinabalu via three summit trails (Wayaan Kaingaran from Tambunan, Wayaan Mastan from Keningau, and Wayaan Mannan from Sinua/Sook), and its bird hides have recently drawn visitors hoping to photograph Bulwer's pheasant.
