Mesilou Eco-tourism Association (META)
Bukit Babi 2380m or Swine Hill is a priceless treasure of Sabah Parks, apart from its captivating natural beauty, the place is also the habitat of the endemic plant species Nepenthes X Rajah and Nepenthes X Alisaputrana, this species only grows at an altitude of 1500-2650 meters above sea level and the soil type is Ultramafic. Previously the place was only visited by wild plant researchers and botanists from all over the world. In 2019 Sabah Parks in collaboration with META opened the place to the public.
The hard work and sacrifices of the Kampung Mesilau community in establishing Maragang Hill will not be forgotten and will be written in history for future generation to remember. Their struggle, pain and hard work in manually carrying the woods, cement, sands, rocks and other building materials from starting point of Maragang Hill up to the peak to create unforgettable experience to hikers is something that the hikers should be thankful for. Many of them are still working at Maragang Hill until now as this place is so close to their heart and soul.
