Sabah, located in Malaysian Borneo, is renowned for its stunning landscapes, ranging from the iconic Mount Kinabalu—a UNESCO Global Geopark rich in biodiversity—to the world-famous Sipadan Island, one of the top diving destinations in the world. The region offers not only beautiful beaches and lush rain forests but also a wide range of adventure activities, culture experiences, and wildlife exploration. This makes it popular among Indian travellers.
Every year the beach shacks of the coastal state are removed before monsoon. Aviral Mathur of New Delhi is the head of Federation of Resident Doctors Association. He was surprised that shacks are being built in October. “Goa opened this year.” He said beach shacks, hotel beds, and other amenities have been installed. Elena Astakhova, a Russian who arrived in Delhi last month and traveled to Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu before coming here, expressed her satisfaction with her experience in Goa.
She particularly enjoyed the sea. She said she would return to Goa, after spending some time at Cavelossim Beach. Cardoso is a hotelier/shack owner who said that they expect a good year of tourism. They have already done the necessary things.
