Kota Kinabalu to Tenom via Keningau

Use the road connection to reach Tenom’s coffee and agriculture area.

How the connection works

Sabah Tourism identifies Tung Ma services from KK Sentral towards Tenom via the Kimanis–Keningau route. Its arrival description names Jalan Tun Ahmad Raffai opposite Tenom railway station. Check the current operator timetable and boarding terminal before travel, since older general transport pages also mention other city departure areas. The journey crosses highland roads before reaching the interior lowlands.

Before departure

Confirm whether your ticket goes through to Tenom or requires an additional arrangement in Keningau. Ask about luggage and the return departure while booking. Tenom’s coffee stays and Agriculture Park are separate from the town bus stop, so plan the last road leg. An overnight stay is useful when exploring more than one attraction; avoid relying on an unconfirmed late bus after a rural visit.
