Malaysia is located in South East Asia with its primary peninsula bordering Thailand and Indonesia. It is a federation of thirteen states in Southeast Asia.The country consists of two geographical regions divided by the South China Sea the Peninsular Malaysia (or West Malaysia) on the Malay Peninsula shares a land border on the north with Thailand and is connected by the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link to the south with Singapore. And Malaysian Borneo (or East Malaysia) occupies the northern part of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia and surrounding the Sultanate of Brunei. It consists of the states of Sabah and Sarawak and the federal territory of Labuan. It still has some of the world's most remote jungle (in Sabah and Sarawak), one of Southeast Asia's most vibrant old ports
(Georgetown) and an atmospheric, colonial hill station (the Cameron Highlands). Even in Kuala Lumpur, the capital, which bristles with ambitious new building projects, you can still find exotic markets and plenty of local color. As a result, travelers to Malaysia can easily ratchet up or down the levels of adventure and comfort they want to experience.

Malaysia's primeval and largely unexplored rainforests offer intrepid trekkers endless opportunities to observe exotic and rare tropical flora and fauna. Trekking excursions are centered in the country's National Parks and Forest Reserves.
