BangarBangar is the administrative centre of the Temburong District of Brunei. The quiet small town is relatively isolated as Temburong is separated from the main part of the country (where the capital Bandar Seri Begawan is located) by Sarawak's Limbang district. Temburong is not very developed and as such, still has a lot of pristine rainforest. The Ulu Temburong National Park and the Batu Apoi Forest Reserve are excellent for experiencing the jungle.
How to get to BangarBy boat By road Immigration formalities for those coming from Bandar Seri Begawan and Limbang have become easier with the opening of the Malaysian immigration checkpoint at Pandaruan near the ferry landing since June 2007. Previously, you had to get your Malaysian exit stamp at Limbang Wharf before going to Pandaruan. The Brunei checkpoint is about 600m from the ferry landing, and occupies a wooden one-storey building on the right (south) side of the road. If coming from Lawas, you will have to get your Malaysia exit stamp at the Mengkalap Immigration and Customs office at Trusan before proceeding to the actual border about 8km away. The immigration office is located at a shoplot off the main road just east of the Trusan River ferry. Brunei's Labu checkpoint is at the actual border. You will likely find yourself going through Temburong if you are travelling overland between the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. See Kota Kinabalu to Brunei in a day. By bus To/from Bandar Seri Begawan or Limbang: If you must take the bus
(there are direct speedboats to Bangar from Bandar), you will have to take the
bus from Bandar Seri Begawan to Kuala Lurah (see Brunei | Get in section for
details) and the catch another bus to Limbang. From Limbang, take a Pandaruan
bus which will bring you to the border. Cross the Pandaruan River by ferry or
boat and proceed to Bangar by taxi. You can get your Malaysian exit stamp at
Pandaruan and your Brunei entry stamp at the Puni immigration post. By taxi
Get around in Bangar Temburong basically has two main roads, one stretching from its eastern border with Sarawak at Puni, through Bangar, to the western border, again with Sarawak, at Labu, a total of about 25km. The other main road runs south from Bangar to Batang Duri. You will have to resort to taxis to move around in Temburong if you do not have your own set of wheels. There are no buses. Taxis can cost a bit - Bangar to Labu is about B$30. You can also hire bicycles from the Maryani Camping Shop at Bangar for B$30 dollars a day.
