Kluang sits almost exactly in the middle of Johor, wrapped in forest reserve and oil palm, with a railway station that has been pouring coffee since before independence. It is the kind of town people drive through on the way somewhere else — which is precisely why it rewards stopping.

  • Kluang Rail Coffee at the railway station
  • Gunung Lambak and Gunung Belumut hiking trails
  • Its name — "keluang" means flying fox in old Malay
  • Being the geographic centre of Johor
