Poring

Poring is a small tourist resort in Sabah, Malaysia.

Located 40 km south-east of the Kinabalu National Park Headquarters, in the district of Ranau,[1] Poring is situated in lowland rainforest, contrasting with the montane and submontane rainforest of Kinabalu National Park.

The name Poring comes from a Kadazandusun word for a bamboo species found in the area.

[1] The springs are known for their therapeutic properties and the waters with their sulphuric minerals are reputed to ease aching muscles.

The baths are favoured by returned climbers of Mount Kinabalu.
