Tawau Hills National Park, Protected water catchment area in Sabah, Malaysia.
The national park extends across 279 square kilometers of lowland dipterocarp rainforest, featuring multiple trails through dense tropical vegetation and natural streams.
The Malaysian government established Tawau Hills National Park in 1979 to safeguard the water supply for Tawau town and preserve the natural environment.
Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices of sustainable resource management while supporting conservation efforts through educational programs and guided tours.
The park entrance lies 24 kilometers from Tawau city, with facilities including camping grounds, chalets, picnic areas, and marked hiking paths for visitors.
Mount Magdalena rises 1,310 meters within the park boundaries, creating a volcanic landscape with natural hot springs and multiple cascading waterfalls.
