Orou Sapulot - Original Owners’ Eco-Tours

What and where is Orou Sapulot?

Nestled deep within the rugged terrain of Sabah, Borneo, Orou Sapulot holds profound significance as a community-based eco-tourism project initiated by Dr. Richard Sakian Gunting—a Murut Tribe descendant and the visionary behind this website, borneo.tours. Derived from the Murut language, "OROU" translates to "SUN," symbolizing the project's mission to illuminate and revitalize the conservation of flora, fauna, and fading Murut cultures in the region. Additionally, the project aims to address environmental threats such as illegal logging and cultural losses due to modernization, which have endangered the delicate balance of the ecosystem and traditional Murut way of life.
