 The Canopy Walk over a high section of the 50,000 hectare Ulu Temburong National Park |
Temburong – almost entirely covered by pristine rainforest - is Brunei’s backyard, its rural realm, its remote region, its playground. It lays beyond the newly discovered leisure playground of Brunei Bay and a sliver of Sarawak some fifty minutes from the capital Bandar Seri Begawan along the 'Liquid Highways' that carry most of the country's consumer flow and trade traffic. Go slicing through river rapids in a Temuai, the sleek motored longboats of the indigenous Iban tribes, and you are enveloped and entranced by the rich biodiversity and the sheer physical beauty of this corner of the legendary island of Borneo, where man’s hand has fallen so very lightly. The global diving community lauds the small nation’s coral reefs and array of shipping wrecks with a raft of adjectives from special to spectacular.
