GLO Durian Farm & Camp
Jalan Ladang Kampung Sungai Dua, 28600 Karak, Pahang, Malaysia

My first durian farm tour and durian buffet experience at GLO was amazing! We enjoyed a guided tour where the owner shared the history of durians and lots of interesting knowledge about the fruit. We even had the chance to pick our own durians, which was so much fun! The buffet offered a wide variety of durians, and it was all-you-can-eat. Everything was fresh, delicious, and enjoyable. It was truly a worthwhile experience, and I highly recommend it to all durian lovers!

About GLO Durian Farm & Camp
We cultivate and grow durian in Kampung Sungai Dua, Bentong, Pahang as our prime activity. We grow mainly Musang King, Black Thorn and D24. GLO (GL Orchard) is named after our lovely mother’s first name. It is our intention to express gratitude for her selflessness and grace in nurturing the family in this lifetime. We thought it apt, as her labour of love resonates well with the effort required to nurture and care for the farm. Our passion in agriculture started from our younger days. Through adulthood, we were busy with our full-time jobs and were unable to indulge in this passion. But it was always close to heart. When the opportunity came to own and manage a durian farm, we took a leap of faith and the journey has been nothing less than amazing. Simply priceless. Nurturing and caring for the durian trees is not a walk in the park. The learning curve is steep; from getting the right fertilisation formula, surviving the unpredictable weather pattern to managing workers at the farm. But collectively as a family, we gathered strength and resources, formed a long-term view and never looked back. We started GLO campsite from 2022. We call it semi-wild. We are not yet connected to the grid. So, we are fully renewable. All visitors and campers bring their own source of electricity and power. And it's amazing to observe how resourceful they all are. And fully living a world of basic and completely carefree and happy. It is a joy to watch kids going around the farm without their iphone, ipads or androids and just BE; like the good old days. We are very proud of what we have achieved thus far. The learning curve is steep. But nothing is impossible. Never say never, is our motto. We stay strong as a team and family and we are doing our best to bring you what we believe eco agro-tourism is. Stay tuned.

This is one of the best campsites I’ve been to so far. The hospitality from the owner, Ms. Low, and her family is simply superb. From the communication to the campsite facilities, support, and overall hospitality, everything was a great experience. I’ve been there twice, and both visits were just as good. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with, making it quick and hassle-free to arrange our group camping trip. I’ll definitely be going back again, especially to enjoy the fresh durians! The people there made me feel like I was with family, just like home. A few small suggestions for improvement: it would be great to have dim night lighting along the walking path to the toilets for better visibility at night. Also, adding more stones or gravel to the driveway near Lot C1 would help a lot, as it can get quite slippery and muddy after rain.

A very good and well-maintained campsite! The place is neat and clean and it’s pet-friendly ….our fur kid had such a fun time running and playing around the campsite. Toilets are clean and there’s even a fridge provided which is super convenient for campers. Their homemade ice cream is really nice too! My EcoFlow battery suddenly ran out luckily there were charging sockets at the common area otherwise I would have had a tough time! Really appreciate that facility. Overall a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Definitely worth coming!

Stayed at C13 lot, extremely clean and well kept place! Toilet facilities were top notch, dare I say the cleanest I’ve ever seen during camping. The owner were really nice, and welcoming! They even helped us find sugar :D However, the flies were really a huge problem. During night time, it was alright, but during the day, it was so terrible that we could barely sit outside, I would suggest bringing up a sticky pad or something to overcome it. The weather when we went wasn’t ideal, it was a tad too warm. Besides that, it was an overall pleasant stay!

Recommended for seasoned drivers of reasonable powered sedan, but best with a 4x4 /suv We had a great time at this campsite. We arrived at noon, I was told it was raining in the morning. CO already sent a route guide to enter. The road leading in were a bit off-road, don't come in with a lowered car. We went in with a normal Toyota sedan, there were a few muddy spot with puddle of water, it is a one-car lane with occasional empty spot at the side for you to stop in case there is on coming traffic, so be nice to reverse if you are nearer to any empty spot. Then we came to a slope, though it is a cemented pavement, there was water flowing down from uphill as the rain just stopped a few hours before our arrival. The slops is probably 20-30degree and can be pretty narrow at certain corners. Recommended for Experienced drivers only. But luckily, we got up there, with a good engine push, and safely landed at our lot. Attached video showed our way out, which was a dry day. I under estimated the size of the lot but co was kind enough to let us have a bigger lot since we were the only one there that night. The view is marvellous, mountain view with alot of trees and farms. The toilets were very clean and nicely renovated. Area at camping lot is not lighted, hence bring your own torch and mozzie spray. The toilets are powered by solar lights. At night, enjoy the cool breeze and "sound of music" by the frogs/toads. Loads of them. No electricity at camp lot, but you can charge your phones or power bank at the common area. There are ice cubes, frozen durian and popsicles for sale too. We ordered some fresh d24 that night. Overall, I give 5 stars to the campsite however have to remove 1 star for the roads to the campsite. Thank you co for the great hospitality and the great maintenance of the place. May your durian business prosper and campsite becomes very popular soon!
