Слайд 2

The road to Bundu Tuhan offers spectacular views of Mount Kinabalu.

And only 1.5 hours drive from Kota Kinablu. The mountain is open for climbing. But you must be fit! To the Dusun people of Bundu Tuhan the mountain has significant spiritual significance

Слайд 3

Bundu Tuhan
Bundu Tuhan at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu. Many young

people from the village are mountain guides and porters daily carrying everything needed for the overnight stay at Laban Rata near the summit. These guys and women easily carry 35kg up the mountain.
On the picture you can see some of the swidden agriculture that has been practiced in Borneo forever. However, some areas are allocated for community area such as their forest where no activities are allowed without the permission of the elders. And in Bundu Tuhan these guys are very conservation minded and want to preserve the uniqueness of the area for their children

Слайд 4

Mount Kinabalu
This spiritually significant mount was the center of an earthquake

some months ago in spite of Sabah not being an active earthquake zone at all. The mountain guides from Bundu Tuhan became famous on account of their efforts to guide people down in the middle of the chaos.
The mountain has now been declared safe for climbing again and new trails have been made.
If you plan to climb you need to book well ahead of time and budget for at least two days for the journey up and down. Three days is better so you can acclimatize at around 1000 meter, or same altitude as Bundu Tuhan

A unique toilet sign en route at the same view point.

The Catholic Retreat center. Double decker room with attached bathroom. Facilities

are basic but OK and with hot shower…. We need to bring our own towels

.
Another view of the room. You will note there is

no aircon as it is already cool and nice at night time
Also a picture of one of the 5 training rooms we have available

Слайд 7

Nice big veranda outside the largest meeting and dining hall. Outdoor

training is also possible as there is very nice view.

Слайд 8

Was told that you could see Mount Kinabalu from here on

a clear day… but not this day
To the right the retreat centre from the outside

Слайд 9

Adam introducing me to the village elders. Chief Jospeh to the

right. The local beer here is Tiger Beer but Carlsberg also quite popular. I think the beer is around 1 dollar each. Adam eating Mee Gorent. I suggest we go for local food with the caterer but less spicy

Слайд 10

Just a nice sunset from where we were having our meeting

Слайд 11

Negotiations are going better and better…notice I have my NEPCon notebook

ready to catch the words of wisdom from the elders… a few mountain guides also joined

My friend Adam who introduced me … not sure what they are talking about but obviously important stuff

Слайд 12

A welcome break in negotiations where we try our luck in

Darts… Native Chief looking for the dart I think….

Слайд 13

We never made it to the sports and recreation bar

Слайд 14

Bundy Tuhan is a picture of tranquillity and beauty consisting of

three villages interspersed with agriculture. Far left is the school that services an area much larger than Bundu Tuhan There are many trails to explore in and around the village

Слайд 15

Here the local clinic if anybody should need

Слайд 16

The outside and inside of the local Dewan (Community Hall). Observe

a badminton court
And note the stage where we can exchange cultural performances. I will sing the first Danish song so you all know that it is not about beaty and talent…. Its about participating ☺
