Taman Peranginan Tasek

Ulu Temburong National Park
One of the highlights of a visit to Brunei, Ulu Temburong National Park is in the heart of a 500-sq-km area of pristine rainforest. Its so untouched that only about 1 sq km of the park is accessible to tourists; the rest is off-limits to everyone except scientists, who flock here f
