KOTA PADAWAN: The Borneo Highlands Padawan Nature Challenge 2018 will be returning on October 28 at Borneo Highlands Resort here.

Chairman of Padawan Municipal Council (MPP), Ir Lo Khere Chiang said that the event which has been held for the past eight years and each year it has been able to attract about 300 local and international participants.
“This Run is a bit of challenge and it is not running flat on the road. But it is going up the mountain. So it is a challenge.
“I would like to encourage the public to take part in this Nature Challenge,” he said at a press conference at MPP headquarters here.
“Not only that, we hope also to promote the tourism potential in this spot as Padawan has a lot of tourism potential and attractions. We have caves, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, jungle trail and also a resort right up on the top of the Borneo Highlands.
“For nature lovers, that is the place to be in. The weather up there is cold and conducive, and the natural rainforest there is something that can’t be easily found elsewhere or easily get engaged in,” he emphasised.
“This one you don’t have to go deep into the jungle. Once you reach Borneo Highlands, you can experience the natural rainforests,” he said.
Lo also said that there was also a beautiful golf course up there at the Borneo Highlands Resort and there was also a point where one could have an excellent view overlooking the Kalimantan border.
“It is also the tourism potential that we want to promote,” he said.
