    Heard a lot of good reviews abt this place from friends and hence paid a visit last year. Totally in awe with its warm hospitality, amazing views, humble zen x industrial design buildings. Beautiful landscaping too. Was mesmerized by their largest buddha statue called Dorje Shugden? Heard it's a powerful buddha to clear obstacles.

    They have this rescued birds area, i fell in love with the parrots who can talk! It's really compassionate for the founder to have created this place to keep unwanted birds. Usually people are more aware of unwanted dogs/cats but not birds. Compassion in action.

    It is a small place, there's about 10 rabbits in the "indoor garden" for you to play with. While outside, there's a cage with 4 ducks. There's also a indoor playground. And that's it.
    The entrance fee is RM14 (adult) RM7 (child) but if you purchased the ticket when you are entering Colmar Tropicale, then it is free entrance. If just to pay to see the above, then just don't bother to go.

    Went for the durian plant tour with my wife and son. Farm owner is very hospitable and make us feel so welcome. He took great efforts to explain to us how different variety of durian look and taste despite the fact that they normally.only conduct the tour for a minimum of 10 guest per session. He is passionate about durians and if you want to learn and taste the best organic durian out there, this is certainly a stop you should not miss.

    Just a pre-warning: for those who doesn't like to travel on farm roads with your car, you will need to hunt for other places as you need to drive around 3km in and out of "jungle road" from main road.

    We were pleasantly surprised that this place was very well maintained and the animals were on healthy condition. Very similar to Farm in the City in Seri Kembangan, this place is much bigger and you don't have to cramp with others. The petting zoo was fun with all sorts of farm animals and you get to feed them, which makes it interesting for young children.

    Adults RM48 and children >90 cm/senior citizen RM38 or get one of the family packages. Getting there from KL is about 1.5hrs and worth the journey - stop over in Bentong for lunch and you can head to Genting Highlands after as well (about 40mins away)

    Quaint and interesting place to visit. Myself and my family of 4 decided to visit the Fig farm at Janda Baik, on Sat 9 March 2024. We reached there around 250 pm and had to wait for around 10 minutes before we were let in. There was a foreigner lad (probably a Pakistani) who was looking after the Fig enclosure. We were allowed only into the Fig enclosure and were not allowed into the rest of the farm. Inside the enclosure, we could see the figs were being cultivated. The enclosure is covered on all sides by a mesh - to prevent birds etc from entering inside. You are not allowed to pluck any of the figs (ripe ones), hence we took some pictures and exited. At the office, we picked up some fig fruits and fig vinegar. The gentleman at the counter mentioned that only members of the "club" were allowed into the rest of the farm, as there were some "rare" flowers inside. Felt bit odd, but as we were made to feel unwelcome, we left the place. Cannot comment on the rest of the farm, as we did not visit. The Fig farm, per se is not an exiting place to visit. It is small, the help there is more to prevent us from wandering off rather than to provide some information or real guidance. Not worth spending so much time trying to reach the place, unless you are a die-hard fig farming enthusiast!

    Very peaceful countryside. About 1 hr drive from Kuala Lumpur. Good for a family outing and picnic at riverside. The river is very clean and clear. Not far away, you will find a fig tree farming. They have fresh fig fruits and its various fig fruit products to sell. Will surely visit again soon.

    We made a visit to Bentong on the weekend. This temple is just by the roadside near the town area. This is a temple you should visit if you are in Bentong for the weekend market or the waterfalls. It is an old temple, bright red in colour, over 130 years old of history is kept in certain parts of the temple. When you enter this simple looking temple, do look up, the surprise is on the ceiling, very unique, one of a kind, you cannot see it elsewhere. The entrance to the temple is also nicely decorated, newly renovated, fresh paint and dragon statues on both sides. It is not a huge temple, a single building, very simple with unique pieces of history that are worth seeing with your own eyes.

    Our visit to the Hare Krishna Cow Farm at Janda Baik was simply thrilling. Myself and my family consisting of my two sons (19 and 16 years of age), along with my wife visited this cow farm, yesterday, Saturday 9th March 2024. We had come upon it accidently on the map, when we were looking for places to visit on a day trip to Janda Baik.

    The lady managing the farm is a Chinese lady named Prema Bhakti. Milk from the cows is not sold and only used to feed the calves. Only, the cow dung is processed and sold, with which they purchase additional grass for the cows.

    One of the cows had just delivered her first baby calf, few hours prior to our visit. The mother cow was extremely protective of its baby and did not allow anyone close to it. As the calf had not yet fed with its milk, the mother cow kept licking the calf. Only when the calf could stand up on its feet, the mother would be able to feed its baby calf. The calf was shivering and the mother kept licking the calf. As it was on Mahasivarathri that the calf was born, she was named Sivaneswari. Other cows too had names such as Tulasi, Lakshmi. One was named Lava too. All the cows responded well to their given names and were extremely friendly. Both my sons fed the cows lumps of brown sugar with their own hands, the experience of which was simply thrilling for them. There were also 15 friendly stray dogs which were all looked after and fed by Ms Bhakti.

    There seemed to be a total of 3 staff, including Ms Prema Bhakti, when we visited the cow farm. Ms Bhakti is passionate about what she does and looks after each of the cows like her own children. After viewing and feeding the cows below at the farm, Ms Bhakti took both of my sons atop the nearby hills, where the remaining cows had free place to graze and move around. I did not climb up the hill as it meant walking up the hill, which my poor knees might not support.

    Ms Bhakti explained so many aspects to the farm, all the while we all listened to her various stories. She was friendly to both of my children and patiently answered all of the questions that both the teenagers posed to her. At the close, she gifted us a dried circular processed piece of cow dung, which we intend to keep. Her efforts need to be appreciated and commended. Kudos to her spirit, passion and selfless service to all of the cows!!

    My personal thoughts:
    #1: There is no proper signage to the place. Only the determined will find their way to the place. Ms Bhakti mentioned that they did not wish to commercialize the farm and asked me in wonder as to how we managed to find the farm, as there are no signboards on the main roads, no internet site to browse and no phone number to contact and be provided the necessary information. I had to confess that it was my younger son, who was very keen on visiting the farm and provided us all the necessary drive and motivation to find the place.
    #2: The farm is quite run down and needs a bit of support. Funds seem to be scarce.
    #3: The cows seemed to be perennially hungry too. Since the milk is not sold, the cow dung is sold and with this money, grass is purchased from nearby Ruang, probably once a week to feed the cows here. According to Ms Bhakti, there is a kind gentleman who provides the transportation necessary to go to the nearby place to purchase the grass and bring it back to the farm.
    #4: There are no vet visits to attend to the cows and almost all of these aspects are looked after by Bhakti and her limited staff.
    #5: Very curiously, there was also no electricity to the farm.

    Ms Bhakti did not ask us for any donation and we were apprehensive about offering any cash. Not willing to embarrass our hosts, we drove away with mixed feelings about the farm, promising ourselves that we would write in a review on Trip Advisor, with the hope that this review would be able to bring some attention to the place, with the sole objective being the well being of the cows and their attendant staff. Hare Rama Hare Krishna!!
