A weekend stay at a farm is what busy city dwellers need every now and then

Waking up to the harmonious sound of insects and birdsongs was certainly a delightful experience, my friend and I discovered during our recent stay at a farm in Pahang.

The expansive farmland, called Karakita Retreat, spreads over 40ha and borders the Lentang Forest in Karak. The place started off as a durian orchard, but today it also offers accommodation for guests who wish to experience staying on a farm.
