Tambunan Rafflesia Centre Tour



The famous Rafflesia, is also located in Tambunan. This is still one of the reason why most tourist would come and pass by Tambunan. It because its one of the Rafflesia Center in Sabah. This oddly and unique flower can only be found in Malaysia. The "flower" is not really a flower but a  holoparasite, because the plant has no stems, leaves or true roots. By other names, it is called the "corse flower" because it gives out a smell that of rotten animal corpse. Hence, this plant only comes out at a particular time. That is why, you must have a good timing if you are ever going to see this unique plant.
Anyhow, the Rafflesia Center Tour at Tambunan when you take the old road to reach Kota Kinabalu. There's signboard that would let you know if are planning on taking a tour.
