How about a trip to Sabah, Malaysia
A Brief Summary
On the northern tip of the island of Borneo (Kalimantan in Indonesian), lies the Malaysian province of Sabah. A mountainous, rugged and heavily forested region, with limited transport routes and difficult access, makes this a location truly off the beaten track. But river-side jungle lodges, established camping grounds and some hotels do provide shelter and accommodation for those braving the elements. April is a fantastic month to visit this region of northern Borneo, it is the sunniest time of year, with hot days and warm nights, all before the onset of the torrential monsoon rains in late May
