By road in Limbang
Limbang's network of roads link it to both the main part of Brunei (where its capital Bandar Seri Begawan is located) to the west and its Temburong district to the east. Travelling anywhere beyond Brunei, eg to Miri, Kuching or Kota Kinabalu by land will require you go through Brunei.
You will most likely find yourself in Limbang if you are travelling overland from Sarawak to Sabah. See Kota Kinabalu to Brunei in a day.
To/from Tedungan (for Bandar Seri Begawan): A relatively good road links Limbang with the Tedungan (known as Kuala Lurah on the Brunei side) border checkpoint, where good roads go all the way to Bandar Seri Begawan. See the "Get in" section of the Brunei page for directions to get to Kuala Lurah. Tedungan is about 43km from Limbang. Both Brunei and Malaysian immigration procedures can be done at the border. From Limbang, head south along the Limbang River. Take a right turn after the KM10 point and travel another 13km before taking another right turn (going straight will lead you to Nanga Medamit). The road road ends right at the border checkpoint. Queues can be quite long at the checkpoint, especially during weekends when Bruneians travel en mass to Limbang for some fun. Do the reverse if coming from Brunei. You will have to follow this route if you are heading to Miri or other parts of Sarawak. See the "Get in" section directions from Bandar Seri Begawan to Miri.
To/From Temburong: A road goes from Limbang for about 15km to Pandaruan where the Pandaruan River forms the border between Malaysia and Brunei's Temburong district. You can take a ferry across to Puni on the Brunei side of the border. There is a vehicular ferry (RM8 or B$4 one way) as well as passenger boats. Puni is about 5km from Bangar, the administrative centre of Temburong district. Since June 2007, the Malaysian immigration checkpoint at Pandaruan has begun operating and travellers no longer need to get their Malaysian exit stamp at the immigration office at Limbang Wharf before proceeding to Pandaruan. The Pandaruan checkpoint is open between 6am and 10pm. The Brunei immigration checkpoint at Puni is about 600m away from the ferry landing point, operating from a wooden one-storey building on the right side of the road if coming from the ferry. You will have to come this way if you are heading to Lawas or Sabah. See the "Temburong | Get in" section for onward directions.
To/From Gunung Mulu National Park: This virtually requires you to do the Headhunters' Trail which starts of Nanga Medamit. See Gunung Mulu National Park page for details.
