The Malaysian state of Sabah is located in the northeast part of the island of Borneo and it shares a border with Indonesia’s East Kalimantan. The capital of Sabah is Kota Kinabalu. The state is dominated by the Crocker Range and Borneo’s highest peak, Kinabalu. There are direct flights from Jakarta to Kota Kinabalu.

Kinabalu is the highest peak in Southeast Asia and is very much a destination for energetic tourists. Trusmadi is also accessible but much less frequently climbed.
