Temburong District is a special area in Brunei. It is like a separate piece of land. The main town and capital of Temburong is Bangar.
Temburong is an exclave. This means it is not directly connected to the rest of Brunei. Instead, Malaysia and Brunei Bay separate it. The Temburong River flows through the district. The Sungai Pandaruan river forms its western edge. Temburong is also home to Brunei's first national park. This park is called Ulu Temburong National Park. It is located in the southern part of the district.
