About
Tenom combines natural beauty, cultural heritage, and endless cups of flavorful coffee, making it a must-visit for travelers seeking an authentic experience in the heart of Sabah. Its fertile land has made it an agricultural hub, with rubber being the primary crop. Soybeans, maize, vegetables, and cocoa also contribute to the local economy, with Tenom coffee gaining popularity as a renowned local specialty. Yit Foh Coffee Factory, founded in 1960, offers a taste of Tenom's finest roasted Robusta coffee, prepared using traditional methods. Fatt Choi Coffee Factory is another notable establishment to visit, providing a fascinating glimpse into the coffee production process. For a unique experience, hop on the North Borneo Railway, which has been transporting crops from Pangi to Tenom since the 1900s. The vintage train journey offers picturesque views of the Padas River, paddy fields, rainforests, and rubber plantations, immersing visitors in the nostalgic charm of the past. The Tenom Orchid Centre offers a glimpse into the stunning world of orchids, while the Murut Cultural Centre provides insights into the indigenous heritage of the region. Cycling enthusiasts can explore the Melalap paddy fields, capturing stunning photos against the backdrop of the vast fields and enjoying the romantic atmosphere.
