Malaysia's East Malaysia
East Malaysia
This magical place of lush tropical forest, long snaking rivers and endless cave labyrinths possesses so many unique treasures that it is only fitting that it is shared by three countries. Deer dwarfed to the size of house cats, blossoms seemingly mutant with their one meter spread in diameter, and plots composed of exotically adorned headhunters and pirates, these are the flavors unique to East Malaysia.
For centuries, its curio of wonders has lured both scientists and researchers, as well as yearning hearts in search of true adventure and mystery. Today, Malaysia’s Borneo remains an undiscovered haven for exotic sights, tales, excursions and interactions. Explore Sabah, where the towering Mt. Kinabalu presides over lush forests and soft sands, rare Sumatran rhinos and mysterious indigenous tribes; venture to Sarawak where a fantastic array of National Parks center around the state’s charming capital, Kuching; or voyage to neighboring Brunei, the tiny third to Borneo’s ruling triumvirate.
