We first found out about Bentong Sanctuary Farm (Lotus Liberation Sanctuary) last month when we went on a nature trip to
Discover Turtles. After our unforgettable turtle watching experience in Kemaman, Lim, who's really into turtle conservation, brought us to
Bentong Farm , where he taught us more about terrapins and tortoise. Loved the farm so much we just had to revisit, and introduce the place to friends, thus the revisit with a bigger group of people this time.

| Daniel the Dalmation offered my child Nel a cup of coffee in exchange for some chocolate biscuits. :) He's ADORABLE! If I didn't already have a poodle, I'd have adopted him. |

| Feeding the terrapins with juicy guava and turtle food |
 |
| Here's Lim talking about the different species found here |
 |
| Then we headed to the goat pen to feed the goats |
 |
| Shahrul and the farm boys prepared a LOT of freshly cut grass so the children could experience feeding the cows |
 |
| Here's feeding em cows..;) |
 |
| Oh lookie...even a dad amongst the group had a go. I doubt his motives though coz he's a sausage maker I hear. Hmmmm..... |
 |
| My littler one loved this mooo |
 |
| Well..then we all hoped on several trucks, down a lovely road to feed the ducks. Weather was awesomely lovely.. |
 |
| Some chose to walk down this peaceful road, along a river |
 |
| And here's by the pond feeding em ducks some dried bread and vege |

Directions to Farm:
To get to the farm: Get on Karak Highway, follow the Kuantan Sign. Take the very first Bentong exit and pay Tol. After exiting the Tol, you'll come to a T Junction. Take a left, and drive along the river for about 5 Km. You'll come to a small signage which says Perting Valley Camp. Turn right there and drive on stony road. Cross a little bridge and you'll come to Lotus Liberation Sanctuary. That is the Farm itself. Do call before going. |

There are several ladies in the 1st picture who look really familiar. The lady in black singlet, isn't she the one who makes baby slings? Is this group a homeschooling group? Bentong farm sounds really interesting. Do you mind e-mailing the contact info etc? I'd love to arrange a trip there with some friends. Can you actually do this in one day? How long is travelling time? Aiyo, so many questions, hope you can give me more info through e-mail. Thanks Martha!
What beautiful pictures! I am so impressed with how many trips of this nature you take.
hi mom2kiddos..lost your email. haha..could you write me first? This was a mixed group of friends and friend's friends. You can do the trip in half a day. If you're going fromthe Klang Valley it's not far..just an hour and a half the most. Directions are found on my other blog. ;) To find em..go to FB and look for Bentong Farm Sanctuary.
G: thanks G. You know how much I love the outdoors..and now my children love it, and I've convinced hubby to love it too! haha..:)
haha..wanted to ask the same questions like Germaine. But you've already answered them..:)
Nice place, thanks for sharing. My 2 kids love nature too, but I'm now 7 months pregnant, not sure if the place is ok for me? Saw someone hopped onto truck, LOL, not sure if it will be a rough trip? :)
Hi, I am a college student who is interested in stargazing at this Bentong Farm Sanctuary (this page recommends me http://www.loyarburok.com/2011/02/11/low-carbon-dating-valentines-date-just-outside-kl/)
Maybe during the afternoon we can volunteer to help out in the Sanctuary and at the night we will stargaze there!
May I have the contact number of Bentong Farm Sanctuary?
Thanks a lot!
Hi daisuke, I don't have the farm number itself, but can find them on Facebook. Will post number when I have it.
Thank you!
My club members has got the contact number =)
Thanks again!
Great. Apologies that I didn't get back to you sooner. Have great fun. You must anticipate lots of dogs though. If you're ok with that, the farm is a lovely place to visit.
