💡 Tips

Rent a 4WD vehicle if you plan to venture deep into the forest reserves on unpaved roads.
Always take off your shoes and ask for the chief's permission before entering a traditional longhouse.
Tropical downpours are frequent; carry a good quality raincoat or umbrella at all times.
Visit during fruit season (typically mid-year) to see the roadside stalls overflowing with exotic produce.
Cover up well and bring insect repellent to protect yourself from leeches and mosquitoes in the jungle.

Labi is a mukim and rural settlement in the Belait District, known for its agricultural importance and pristine nature. The region is considered one of the most important centers for rice cultivation in Brunei, with the plains of Lot Sengkuang providing vast areas for food production. Labi is also a gateway to the untouched rainforest of the Teraja area, famous for its waterfalls, such as Wasai Kadir, and its rich biodiversity. Culturally, the location is defined by the presence of traditional longhouses of the Iban community, offering a glimpse into Brunei's indigenous lifestyles. The hilly landscape provides handy conditions for growing citrus fruits, especially the local Labi limes. As an ecotourism destination, Labi attracts visitors seeking the tranquility of nature and authentic culture away from urban centers.
