TEMBURONG
Ulu TemburongNational
Park
Dubbed the ‘Green Jewel of Brunei’,
the Ulu Temburong National Park
is Brunei’s only national park, a
successful example of the Sultanate’s
forest protection policy. Spread over
a whopping 50,000 hectares of land,
the rainforest plays resident to the
ever elusive Proboscis monkey and
thousands of other unique species
of flora and fauna. To get to the park,
visitors have to ride a water taxi from
the main jetty in the capital to Pekan
Bangar in Temburong District.
To properly experience the park, visitors
are encouraged to stay overnight at the
Ulu Ulu Resort – conveniently located
in the middle of the park – for an early
head start: itineraries in the park often
start with an early morning canopy
walk to enjoy views 180-feet above the
jungle floor. Apart from a stunning bird’s
eye view of tree tops and Bukit Belalong
in the distance, lucky visitors may also
spot swinging gibbons, hornbills flying
overhead or even flying squirrels.
Apart from the canopy walk, the
resort organises jungle hikes towards
waterfalls and kayaking down a river.
