Why Janda Baik?

Janda Baik is a rainforest village in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang — cooler than the lowlands, green in every direction, and quiet enough that a group can hear the river and the birds between sessions.

For organisers it's a rare combination: genuine nature for the practice, and a short drive from Kuala Lumpur for the guests.
