Whether you like rainforest, river, waterfall or lake, Taliwas Park has all these. The park is also very well-managed (by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ysnet.org.my\/\">Yayasan Sabah Foundation<\/a>) and camper-friendly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mysabah\/11708426393\/in\/set-72157639310226295\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20140106_1.jpg\" alt=\"Pandan Lake of Taliwas\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPic: beautiful Pandan Lake of Taliwas Park<\/p>\n<p>However, Taliwas Park is not commercialized, so very few hear about it.

I did a few photo-shooting near the camping ground, because the rainforest there looked so fresh and lively under the morning rays. Taliwas Park itself is a fully-protected forest reserve.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mysabah\/11708144505\/in\/set-72157639310226295\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20140106_7.jpg\" alt=\"cycling couple in Taliwas\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPic: check out the tall and dense trees above our heads!<\/p>\n<p>We followed a gravel trail from the campsite of Taliwas.

There is no restaurant in the park, so Simon and Tisha (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bikeandtours.com\/\">Bike and Tours<\/a>) prepared the food and setup the table for us. They made some BBQ seafood, mashed potato and chicken wings, which were really delicious.

The road 20 KM before Taliwas Park is unsealed and can be muddy in wet season, so you better go there by 4-Wheel Drive (or by cycling like what I did). The park has water and electricity supply.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20140106_16.jpg\" alt=\"Taliwas Forestry &#038; Recreation Area\" \/><br \/>\nPic: entrance of Taliwas Forestry &#038; Recreation Area<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20140106_17.jpg\" alt=\"camping ground of Taliwas Forestry &#038; Recreation Area\" \/><br \/>\nPic: the camping ground of Taliwas Forestry &#038; Recreation Area is vast and can accommodate hundred of campers. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mysabah\/11708159983\/in\/set-72157639310226295\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20140106_18.jpg\" alt=\"Taliwas River\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPic: the river in Taliwas Park is shallow and clean, very suitable for a swim.
