Description 

Malaysia consists of two halves; Penninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Malayasia is a diverse country geographically, from lowland tropical rainforests to the high alpine peaks of Mt. Kinabalu. Malaysia is well known for its Thailand quality limestone and various granite climbing areas. Friendly and hospitable, the people of Malaysia are a mix of several cultures. Visiting climbers to this fantastic country will be made to feel at home right away.

Getting There 

Malaysia is reachable overland from either Thailand or Singapore, by boat or by plane.
