Tutong

Tutong is 30 minutes away from the capital, and is the

country’s most ethnically diverse district. It is home to

four Bornean ethnic groups – Tutong, Kedayan, Dusun

and Iban. Visitors often flock the district for its impressive

destinations which exhibit natural beauty such as Tasek

Merimbun, Seri Kenangan Beach, Bintudoh Greenspring

Resort, Ukong Sago Factory, Wasai Batu Mapan

Recreational Park and Bukit Ambog.

Belait

Brunei’s largest district, Belait, is the source of the

Sultanate’s wealth and prosperity. Most of the country’s

petroleum industry runs in this quiet oil district, situated

roughly 100 kilometres away from the capital. Seria and

Kuala Belait are the district’s largest towns.

Temburong

Temburong is the second largest district with a population

of less than 10,000, separated from the other three

districts and sitting adjoined to Sarawak, Malaysia. The

district is densely covered with lush rainforest, parts of

it conserved in reserve parks, making it a hotspot for

ecotourism. The Ulu Temburong National Park and the

Sumbiling Eco Village are some of the district’s points of

interest and its main town is Bangar.
