Tasek Lama

Since I didn't want to pay US$200+ (100 per person, min of 2 pax) to do Ulu Temburong National Park, I decided to just be a local and do what locals do - Tasek Lama at 4pm after work.

Budget: BND5 (~USD4)

BND5. Dart to Tasek Lama trailhead.

When to Go
Throughout the year, but I can just imagine how muddy this is when it rains.

When I talk to locals, I hear that this is normally an "after work day" hike, usually from 4pm. I did this on a Monday afternoon, and since I met at least 20 people, I think this is true.

Special Notes

Weather forecast: English. Just good old google. Also, weather forecast kept on saying rain, I still went, no rain. So maybe not the most reliable?
Trailheads. As with all of Brunei, no public transportation. So just use Dart, the Brunei equivalent of Uber.

Tasek Lama Parking Lot. Google maps pin. I recommend starting from this point to get your bearings. Most people also start from here.
Radisson Hotel. The road behind it leads to the other trailhead, here's the google maps pin. My hotel is near here, so I just walked from here.
