Suspension Bridge-Tamparuli

London has its Tower Bridge, San Francisco is famous for its Golden Gate Bridge, and Sabah although lesser well known, is famous for its Tamparuli Suspension Bridge. This suspension bridge is located at Tamparuli town, a small town 30 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu by car, and many travellers may pass through here while on their way to Mt. Kinabalu, and Poring Hot Spring.

The local Kadazandusun tribe has been using suspension bridges for ages, crossing the many rivers generated by the Crocker Ranger. Even though the Tamparuli Bridge is not the original one, as floods after floods had eventually damaged the old one. After a few reconstructions the present bridge is a new one, which was completed just a few years ago.

A walk across the Tamparuli Suspension Bridge gives one an edgy feeling, as one can feel the bridge swings and sways. For people who are used to solid ground this can be an interesting walk. And for those who have height phobia this would be an ultimate challenge.

The unique and low one way bridge further down is also been used for more than 5 decades, and during the raining seasons, especially after a heavy down pour, water level occasionally rose above the bridge. Vehicles would not be passable, and those who brave the currents, many times ended up having their cars or even trucks being swept away by the raging Kiulu river and many had lost their lives.

If you happen to have a spare time during your weekend, you guys should have a family leisure vacation to visit the suspension bridge which is located in Tamparuli Town area that will absolutely brings joy and unforgettable memories in mind.
