It has been two years since the last visit to Taman Maga Nooh in Long Pasia to explore the trekking routes developed by the people of the village. Long Pasia is one of the most beautiful forested areas in the southwest of Sabah, steeped in local history, indigenous culture and wilderness that have all the trappings of an adventure tourism destination. A makeshift camping facility was built in Taman Maga Nooh some years ago but it has long fallen to disrepair with little to no funding to help put it right again.
The Sabah Land Rover Club has since stepped up to the plate and answered the plight of the people of Long Pasia by donating a fund to rebuild the old campsite facilities. On April 13, 2018, a group of 30 volunteers from the Sabah Land Rover Club which included tourism professionals, made a trip to Long Pasia to see the completed project and put some finishing touches to it.
