How To Get To Taman Pertanian Sabah? (Sabah Agriculture Park)
The Park is accessible by vehicle through 200 km of sealed road from Kota Kinabalu. The journey from Kota Kinabalu to Tenom takes about 3 hours, journeying through the mountainous Crocer Range and down to the Tambunan Valley, passing through quaint, tradisional Kadazandusun villages, continuing on to Keningau and finally, Tenom. One can also make the journey from Kota Kinabalu to Beaufort, by train through the scenic Tenom Gorge and return journey by road via Keningau, Tambunan. Hired taxi or bus is available at the Bus Terminal near the Padang Merdeka in the city. The taxis or buses depart daily from Kota Kinabalu to Tenom between 6.00 am to 5.00 pm. If you choose to travel by bus or train, you have to change buses at Tenom town which is about 15 km from Taman Pertanian Sabah.

Taman Pertanian Sabah is part of the 1,000 acres of the Agriculture Research Station, Lagud Sebrang Tenom which is administered and owned by the Agriculture Department of Sabah. It is a complex consisting of the Agriculture Research Station, Seed Production Centre for Cash Crop, Farmers Training Centre and Taman Pertanian Sabah itself. The park sprawled over an area of 500 acres. The park was first opened to visitors in March 2000, and was officially launched by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Datuk Seri Panglima Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on the 25 March, 2001.
With its rich biodiversity, the park has a magnificent collection for indigenous and introduced plants species. It is also a conservation centre for the native orchids of Borneo. This park would become a heritage for the next generation and this will help to educate people in nature conservation and the preservation of natural rainforest through cultivation of trees, shrubs, plants and flowers.
The lush greenery, multitude species of plants/flowers of endemic to Borneo Island and very rare, panoramic view of the lakes, captivating landscaped gardens provide an excellent base to expand your knowledge and an ideal environment for those who seek peace, quiet and tranquility away from stressed and urban noise. This park also provides a great trekking ground as well as nature walks and jungle activities. The park is blessed with mother nature?s treasures.
