Sabah - Rumah Terbalik @ Tamparuli, Kinabalu Park & Desa Cattle Farm @ Kundasang

Day 2 in Sabah :)

Wake up in shock! Sabah’s sky turned bright much earlier compared to Kuala Lumpur! Only 6am+ the sky is so bright already. After having some light breakfast, we started our way to Kundasang!

From Kota Kinabalu to Kundasang, we passed by Tamparuli (around half an hour drive from KK) and stopped by Rumah Terbalik which is just beside the road.

The Upside Down House of Borneo, claimed to be the first in South East Asia.

Basically there is just a house which is being built upside down @.@

We didn’t enter the house but believed that all furniture would be on top and visitors would step on the ceiling lol.

Nothing to wow about here, can only have some fun by taking funny picture lol.

There is an upside down kancil too!

Toilet as well.

After that we continue our way to Kundasang.

Drive along ascending way and we are approaching Mount Kinabalu! How awesome is it!

Stopped by Kinabalu Park, which is a World Heritage Site.

Found out that there is a botanical garden and few short trails for jungle trekking.

The trail is easy and well-maintained, suitable for kids too!

Some random creature spotted in the botanical garden.

We continued our way and finally we reached Kundasang town! It is so hard to find a place for lunch and we ended up having late lunch at KFC, haha!

Kundasang is really a small town where there is only one petrol station available here. So please make sure you refill your car’s petrol if necessary (majority is ascending way @.@).

The tiniest, cutest, simplest petrol station I ever see! Credit card is useless here!

Kundasang War Memorial can be easily spotted beside the main road. At the junction right in front of Kundasang War Memorial, there is a signboard which directs you to Desa Cattle Farm! Follow the direction and drive straight (there is only one road though). After some uphill village road, you would see another signboard directs you turning to the left side and here you reached the fake New Zealand, Desa Cattle Farm!


Welcome!

We had fun taking photos with the cows while they enjoy themselves on the grass, eating, moo-ing or lazy-ing!

We were there around 2PM but the weather was just like early in the morning! We are not sweating at all although we run here and there snapping photos, thanks to the chilled breeze that make us felt so comfortable!

Our lucky day! Bumped into a worker who chased all the cows back into their “milking house” and we got to have some really close cow shoot!


So close!

And closer!

So close where we can even touch them! But not dare to do so :P Heard that the cows are imported from New Zealand, the real New Zealand lol.

Actually the cows are surrounded by flies @.@ This explained why their tails are so busy swinging around. They need a bath, haha.

All cows are being chased here! They are queuing for their milking process!

Food is served during the process, so in fact, every cow is concentrating in eating lol.

Quite amazed by their productivity lol.

Visitor can try to some milk products like fresh milk, chocolate flavored milk, ice cream, yogurt and etc there.

Hot selling items are fresh milk & Gelato ice cream lol :)

A variety of flavour to choose!
