Fodor's Expert Review Tasek Recreational Park

Also known as Taman Peranginan Tasek, this lush forest reserve is just a 15-minute walk from the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan. The park, a favorite with local joggers, has picnic areas, walking trails, and an inviting waterfall that's most impressive during rainy season, roughly September through January. The potbellied, flabby-nosed proboscis monkey, a species found only on the island of Borneo, may be spotted in trees during early morning and late afternoons.
