Exploring Ulu Temburong National Park.
The Temburong District in the eastern part of Brunei is the country’s greenest, hilliest and least populated area, and is considered one of Borneo’s most pristine rainforest environments, host to a range of ecological research and ecotourism activities.
Ulu Temburong National Park covers about 500 square kilometres of largely undisturbed forest, boasting extensive visitor facilities and resort style accommodation. The park houses several suspension bridges, boardwalks, tree houses, wildlife observation points and a canopy walkway – rising some 50 metres above the forest floor.
From this bird’s view vantage point, you can admire undisturbed Nature. Snakes often glide through the treetops, such as the striking, and venomous, Wagler’s pit viper. Lizards are easier to spot than snakes, and with luck, you may catch glimpses of the five-lined flying lizard (Draco quinquefasciatus) and Peter’s bent-toed gecko (Gonydactylus consobrinus). Ulu Temburong is also home to various amphibians, such as Wallace’s flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus), which glides from tree to tree.

But as we trek up the Karakoram's second-longest glacier in July, as the United Nations announces the world's hottest ever month on record, does the melting ice beneath our feet suggest the so-called Karakoram Anomaly is slowing? Or is there a ray of hope it will continue to delay the inevitable?
