Bukit Shahbandar Forest National Park



MNS Miri invites you for a visit to Bukit Shahbandar Forest Recreational Park in Brunei.
This is an ideal place for the family as it has a great playground for the kids. It also has a loop track with many shortcuts to returning to base (as indicated in the map) which allows you to shorten your trek should you wish to.



For those who prefer the challenge of serious hiking along the slopes, the slopes are similar to that of Canada Hill in Miri, but well developed and not as taxing to your ligaments and knees. A full loop walk can be completed in 4 hours.

Meeting Point: Bukit Shahbandar Park
Date : 27 August, 2011 (Saturday).
Time : 0700 hrs

(*this means those interested must plan for a night’s stay in Brunei on Friday, 26 August, on your expense)
