What is there to do in Tasek Lama? What is there to explore in Tasek Lama?
What is Tasek Lama?
Slow down; we'll cover this topic one by one.
If you'd like to visit and meet the locals, the most favorable time to go is in the afternoons around four to five o'clock. Around the front entrance there is a bridge where most people relax. There are many benches to rest and also trees to loosely block the sunlight if the weather is hot.
However, if you would prefer to be able to enjoy all the facilities and sceneries without any interruption, then the most recommended time to go is on the weekends in the lazy mornings. Less people visit at that time.
Now, to the two main events, there is the all-famous reflexology walking track. Pebbles are arranged strategically to ensure that the soles of feet in contact with the pebbles will get the maximum pressure as if you are going through a reflexology massage. Sometimes people come over to Brunei and visit the park just to walk on the reflexology walk!

The hiking is the main course of Tasek Lama. There are many paths to start hiking from, most of them leading to a criss-cross . The best thing about this walk is that you will be able to enjoy a fantastic scenery of the whole Bandar Seri Begawan from the peak of the mountain.
There are a lot more things inside the Tasek, like the waterfall and the rock-climbing mountains. The possibilities are endless! We hope you have enjoyed the article, and we're expecting to see you there!...what? Don't worry! There are lots of parking spaces to temporarily allocate your vehicle, as well as stalls that sell refreshments after and before going in the park.
