BRUNEI
Best
Of Brunei
Ulu Temburong National Park
At Ulu Temburong National Park - a huge swathe of rainforest home
to gibbons, hornbills and flying lizards - you can test your nerves
to the limit and take in a breathtaking view on the canopy walkway.
Istana Nurul Iman
Opulent beyond description and home to the world's richest man,
the Istana Nurul Iman is bigger than either Buckingham Palace or
the Vatican. For a good look, take a boat trip along the neighbouring
Sungei Brunei.
Sekoloh homestay
In Sekoloh village, locals take turns putting people up in their
timber dwellings - a great opportunity for a rare insight into the
lifestyle of traditional, rural Bruneians.
Kampung
Ayer
Watch the craftsmen build boats at Kampung Ayer, a huge warren of
plankboard walkways connecting scores of villages built entirely
over the sea.
Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque
Dress modestly, take off your shoes and step into the magnificent
Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Bandar, with its golden dome reflected
in the surrounding lagoon.
Sungei Temburong boatride
Nicknamed flying coffins because of their shape and speed, passenger
boats scream past the mangrove-lined riverbanks of Sungei Temburong.
If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of crocodiles or proboscis
monkeys along the way.
Iban homestay
Doze off to jungle sounds on the veranda of an Iban tribal longhouse.
If you want to make quick friends, bring small gifts for the local
children. |
