Kluang sits inland in the middle of Johor in southern peninsular Malaysia, surrounded by palm and rubber plantations. It is a quiet market town built around the railway station, and its name means valley of bats.
The railway station coffee shop is a genuine local institution, serving a particular style of coffee and toast that draws visitors from across the state. Gunung Lambak on the town's edge is a popular short climb with views over the plantations, and the town is otherwise a working agricultural centre.
The town centre is walkable and taxis and ride-hailing cover local distances. The main railway line down the peninsula stops here, connecting to Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur.
The climate is equatorial and warm year-round, with rain usually arriving as heavy afternoon downpours. The northeast monsoon months around the turn of the year are the wettest.
