Kahang Organic Rice Eco Camp is located in the Kluang district, Johor. It is the southern most rice farm in Peninsular Malaysia and thereby the Asia continent.

It is also the only organic rice farm in Malaysia, adopting the total integration approaches of biological diversity in its farming system.

The farm has a total area of 120 hectares and is nestled next to a forest reserve of Sungei Madek, part of the greater forest reserve of Gunong Belumut, the highest mountain in the southern part of Johor.

Water for the farm is channeled by irrigation canal from the clean water of Sungei Madek.

The camp overlooks the expansive rice fields with the forest reserve acting as a backdrop.

Biological diversity is the key component in organic rice farming. Freshwater aquatic life abounds here in the farm, which includes shrimps, amphibians, molluscs, insects and more than 20 species of freshwater fishes. Ducks and aquatic plants like the azolla are used in abundance as part of the integrated farming approach.

Here you will be able to observe and participate in farming activities like organic rice farming, vegetable farming and aquatic plants culturing.

You can also take part in duck rearing, aquarium and food fish culturing.

Try your hand at composting.

Outdoor activities that can be conducted outside the farm include jungle trekking, canoeing, rafting and bird watching.

While further within the farm, mud pond games, water obstacles, kite flying fishing and prawn catching can be organised.
