Malaysia & Borneo Travel Guide

Malaysia offers an extraordinary blend of modern cities, ancient rainforests, and pristine islands. From the soaring Petronas Towers to the world's oldest tropical rainforests in Borneo, this multicultural nation provides diverse experiences. This guide covers both Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak).

Malaysia's climate varies by region. The west coast of Peninsular Malaysia (KL, Penang, Langkawi) is driest from March to October. The east coast (Perhentian, Redang) and Malaysian Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak) are best from March to October, with November to February bringing monsoon rains that close many east coast islands. Kuala Lumpur can be visited year-round.
