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.

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!

I had such a great time visiting this durian farm! The owners were super friendly and welcoming, and they made the whole experience really enjoyable. They gave us a detailed tour of the farm and explained everything about the different types of durians and how they are grown and harvested. You can really tell they love what they do. I was also impressed by how clean the place was, especially the toilet—it was surprisingly spotless and well maintained! The view around the farm was beautiful and very relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves durians or wants a fun farm experience.

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!

We made a very last-minute decision to spend our New Year’s Eve countdown at this campsite, and it turned out to be such a great choice! The CO and her family were extremely friendly and welcoming. As a lovely surprise, they even prepared a New Year goodie bag for us. That was such a thoughtful gesture that really made our stay extra special. This is a non-powered and very clean campsite. We stayed at Lot C7. You can charge your devices a/powerbanks at the common area. The lot comes with a very nice view and is quite shaded at certain times of the day. It would be even better if there were bigger trees for more coverage, but overall it was still very comfortable during our stay there due to the cloudy weather. Cars can be parked next to the lot, as long as you’re prepared to move them if other campers need leave during check-out. The bathroom and washing area are just a short walk away. One small improvement point would be that the lighting at the wash area is a bit dim at night. We had to rely on an extra torchlight when we were doing our dishes. We also happened to visit during durian season, and the CO even asked us in the morning if we wanted durians. They offered to reserve some for us! The durians were excellent quality, and we ended up packing some home because they were just that good. Maxis line was quite strong at the campsite, if I recall correctly. The drive up was also quite exciting, so be mentally prepared, for some of the more faint-hearted. Very important tip: follow the Waze directions shared by the CO and don’t rely on Google Maps, otherwise, you might end up at the wrong spot, speaking from experience :)
