Batu Lawi, Sacred mountain summit in Kelabit Highlands, Malaysia.
Batu Lawi features two distinct sandstone peaks, with the male summit reaching 2,046 meters and the female peak standing at 1,930 meters above sea level.
During World War II, Allied forces designated Batu Lawi as Mount 200, using its peaks as navigation markers for military operations across northern Borneo.
The Kelabit and Penan communities consider the mountain peaks as representations of protective deities, with traditional beliefs prohibiting speaking its name during pilgrimages.
The trek to Batu Lawi from Bario requires five days minimum, involving stream crossings and challenging terrain that demands experienced local guides.
The mountain gained international attention when Swiss activist Bruno Manser disappeared during his second climbing attempt in 2000.
