More Than Just Springs: Waterfalls and Gardens
Poring is a full-day destination with diverse attractions. Beyond the sulphur pools, the trails to the waterfalls are very rewarding. We took the longer, more challenging trek (about 2 hours one way) to the majestic Langanan Waterfall, which is a spectacular 120-meter cascade and a much less crowded route. On the way back, we stopped at the Orchid Conservation Centre, which houses an impressive collection of rare Sabah orchids, including the famous Rothschild's Slipper Orchid. It's truly a place where you can appreciate Borneo's incredible biodiversity. The atmosphere in the lowland forest is lush and humid, a great contrast to the cool mountain air of Kinabalu Park HQ.
