Sumbiling Eco Village: A Rainforest Retreat

Sumbiling Eco Village is an eco-lodge located in the Temburong District of Brunei, an exclave separated from the rest of the country by Malaysia. Situated on the banks of the Temburong River, the village provides a tranquil escape into the heart of Borneo's rainforest. The eco-village is managed in partnership with the local Iban community, aiming to promote sustainability by preserving the environment and showcasing the rich culture of Borneo's indigenous tribes. Visitors can enjoy a range of nature-based activities, including jungle treks, river kayaking, and cultural workshops. The nearby Ulu Temburong National Park, often called the "Green Jewel of Brunei," offers opportunities to explore the rainforest canopy via a thrilling canopy walk, discover waterfalls, and observe diverse flora and fauna. The village itself offers comfortable accommodations with glamping setups and eco-friendly wooden structures. Guests can relax in hammocks by the river, take refreshing dips in the clear water, and embark on guided night walks to spot unique nocturnal species. Sumbiling Eco Village is committed to responsible tourism, implementing practices such as rainwater harvesting, organic filtering, and waste management. The village strives to minimize its ecological impact while providing visitors with an unforgettable experience of Brunei's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
