Introducing “OROU-Sapulot”

The word “OROU”, in the Murut language means “The Sun”. “Orou Sapulot – Back In Time, Natural Village Sanctuary” program was established by Borneo Outback Tours Sdn. Bhd. with the vision to help the economic development of the villagers primarily in the Sepulot Village area and its surrounding.

 

2 Nights, 3 Days of Pure Adventure!

The sunrise of 17th October 2009 shone through my bedroom windows, and what great joy it brought me realizing that in a few more minutes i would be embarking on a journey once again to OROU-Sapulot with an English Friend which i had just befriended who is also ever concerned with what Nature is becoming.

 

Pungiton Eco-Camp, Experience Mother Nature to the Fullest!

The Pungiton Eco-Camp is a one of a kind Mini Nature Resort developed by Borneo Outback Tours as a part of a community project to help build on the Economic Development of the Villagers in Sepulot. During the building stage of Pungiton Eco-Camp, no heavy machineries (ie. Trucks, bulldozers, cranes and etc.) were used; in fact it was fully Hand Built by the Villagers of Sepulot which makes it so different from the other Nature Resorts both big and small.

 

ARE THE LOGGERS TO BE AT ALL FAULTS? – Desperation that has Forced Villagers to Mistakes they would Regret a Lifetime.

In today’s world, almost nobody can live without money, even those who still lives in very rural areas such as the jungles. Yes, they can definitely get their daily meals by going hunting, fishing and even farming; but how about other necessities which requires them to get from town? Unless business or shop owners in town still practice the Barter Trade System, there is no way for these people from the rural areas to get their necessities such as medicine or even transportation to the nearest town which could be hundreds of kilometers away at the nearest without MONEY!

 

Travel Back into Time for your Vacation!

Most people would ask me what are the best places to visit when they come to Sabah, and the answer would always be, “What triggers your senses”. If you really could not make up your mind on this, then why not try something new this time and Travel Back Into Time through Eco-Tourism Packages. Yes! Your eyes are not decieving you, i did say Travel Back Into Time!

Najib: “Sabah to be an example”

It was last week that Najib made his first visit to Sabah after being sitted the “Chair”, and just in time to join the Sabah Fest Carnival which was purposely extended another day for his visit. And it was 2 days after which i read in the papers which a statement was made by himself that Sabah should be an example to the other states in our country.
