Limbang
Transit through Limbang only if you need the overland link between Sarawak and Sabah; otherwise skip – one night max for border stop.
Limbang is a small administrative town on the Sarawak‑Brunei border. It offers few attractions, but serves as a key road and air gateway for travelers moving between Sarawak and Sabah, or starting the Headhunter's Trail to Mulu. Most visitors stay one night for transit.
