You can go to Malaysia all year long because the rainy season is not particularly marked. However, there is a more pronounced monsoon period in the east of the country between November and January. And, if you can, you should avoid July and August when there are lots of tourists.

What do you think about climbing the 4,000 metres of Mount Kinabulu? You can also climb Mount Trus Madi but it is not as easy unless you are experienced. Or you could head for Gunung Mulu, a UNESCO site which has amazing landscapes. You can go all year long.
