National Park·Remote, Lush, Untouched, Serene
Established in 1991, Ulu Temburong National Park serves as the crown jewel of Brunei's environmental conservation efforts. Spanning 550 square kilometers within the Batu Apoi Forest Reserve, the park protects a significant portion of the region's lush, primary rainforest. Often referred to as the 'Green Jewel of Brunei,' it provides a rare opportunity to witness one of the most well-preserved jungle ecosystems in Southeast Asia. The winding Temburong and Belalong Rivers serve as the primary arteries for visitors navigating the dense canopy. With dedicated ecotourism infrastructure, including the Ulu Ulu Resort, the park offers a unique blend of accessibility and deep-jungle immersion.
