The Trek
Trace the steps of the Prisoners of War, who endured extreme conditions on the gruelling Death March from Sandakan PoW camp to Jessleton. Taking place in the dense jungles of Borneo, you’ll follow as much of the original route as possible, including Mount Trusmadi, Borneo’s second-highest and most challenging peak. This trek is not only a test of endurance but a profound homage to resilience and remembrance.
