Day 2<br />
Depending on what time of the day you prefer, trek the<br />
rainforest and soak in all its glory of flora and fauna. If you<br />
choose to trek in the morning, there are tours available<br />
that will take you through the Kadazan-Dusun tribe burial<br />
sites known as the 'Coffin Cliffs'. One will be able to view<br />
remnants of coffins and ceramic 'spirit jars'.<br />
If you choose to trek in the afternoon, make sure you don't<br />
forget to walk through the tree top canopy walkway which<br />
is 300 metres in length and 26 metres at the highest point<br />
for a close-up observation of the rainforest, allowing a bird's<br />
eye view of the area. Also, the canopy walkway is most<br />
definitely not for those afraid of heights!<br />
In the evening, if the weather permits, take a refreshing<br />
dip in the unpolluted Danum River.<br />
Day 3<br />
The Danum Valley Conservation Area is flagged as an<br />
Important Birds Area (IBA). IBAs are sites of international<br />
importance for conserving birds and other biodiversity. All<br />
wildlife and plants are protected within this area. After a<br />
hearty and well-deserved breakfast, make the most of this<br />
opportunity by doing some bird-watching with your friends<br />
and family. Draw up a list, identify the birds and see if you<br />
can score better than others in your group!<br />
