Ulu Temburong National Park, National park in Temburong District, Brunei.
Ulu Temburong is a national park in Brunei's eastern district covered by dense rainforest with rivers flowing through its landscape. The terrain consists of forested hills at varying elevations that support diverse wildlife habitats.
The park was established in 1991 as Brunei's first protected forest area. Since then it has developed into an important site for forest research and conservation work.
The park holds significance as a place where forest knowledge is passed down and where conservation efforts are visible to visitors. Local guides share their understanding of the rainforest ecosystem during walks through the trails.
Visiting requires boat transfers and overland transport to reach the park interior, so allow extra time for travel and connections. Waterproof clothing and sturdy shoes are essential since trails can be muddy and the climate is very humid.
An elevated walkway leads through the forest canopy offering rare views of animals that normally stay high in the treetops. From this vantage point, gibbons and other forest dwellers can be spotted in a way rarely seen up close.

Brunei is a small sultanate on the northern coast of Borneo, a nation that gained its wealth from oil reserves and has preserved its Malay Islamic culture. The capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, blends modern mosques with traditional water villages, while the interior remains largely covered in rainforest. Visitors will find gilded domes next to stilt houses, royal collections next to local markets, and tropical trails at the edges of the city. Places to see include the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque with its man-made lagoon, the sprawling Kampong Ayer with its wooden walkways over the water, and Ulu Temburong National Park, accessible only by boat and through dense jungle. The Royal Regalia Museum displays crowns and ceremonial chariots of the Sultan's family. Gadong Night Market serves local food at open stalls in the evening. Beaches like Serasa lie quietly along the coast, and temples such as Teng Yun Temple add to the religiously diverse cityscape.
