- Address: Brunei Moire, Brunei Darussalam.
About two-thirds of the territory of Brunei is covered with tropical forests. Tourists, getting here, at first a little lost - where to go to see the most interesting natural curiosities of this exotic country? One of the most picturesque places in Brunei is the Usasi Kandal nature reserve. It is in it are the famous waterfalls of Air-Terjun-Menusop. Near them the world seems to freeze - quietly bubbling crystal clear water, rustle of leaves and amazing singing of tropical birds. All this atmospheric harmony is supplemented by incredible beauty landscapes.
What to see?
If you compare the waterfalls of Air-Terjun-Menusop with other known natural objects of this type, then at first glance they lose considerably. No record heights, florid cascades and frightening sheer cliffs. It's just a small water overflow from the sloping cliffs. But this gives the waterfalls of Air-Terjun-Menusop a special charm. They are so neat and unobtrusive complement the overall landscape composition, adding to the hot tropical landscape the notes of freshness and coolness.
In addition, walks to such waterfalls are absolutely safe, unlike visiting their huge boiling brethren, that's why tourists like to come here with children. Here you can make a photo not only against the waterfall, but also directly on its top or under a stream of falling water.
Near the water in the tropics there are always many animals and birds. If you are lucky, you will see such exotic fauna representatives as the crested bastard, the blue-winged peacock, the rhinoceros.
In addition to the waterfalls of Air-Terjun-Menusop, there are the following natural attractions in the territory of the Ousai Kandal reserve:
- Lake Tisek-Laboi ;
- rapids of Air-Tertjun-Tinggi ;
- waterfall Air-Tertjun-Rendahu .
A network of asphalt roads is laid in the national park. For security reasons, it is better to stick to them and do not go far into the forest. Tropics, even adapted for tourist purposes, can be dangerous for people who are not familiar with the "laws of the jungle".
