The rice fields of Kampung Beringin combine beautiful views with a specific event: Pesta D’Sawah takes place there. Kayaking in the surrounding area of Durian Tunggal offers a different kind of experience. This gives you a choice of activities during your stay—a festival held annually in the rice fields or paddling with rentals by the hour or day.
Rice fields and Pesta D’Sawah
The rice fields in Kampung Beringin have long offered beautiful views and are a popular destination for locals and visitors from further afield. Pesta D’Sawah takes place every year in Kampung Beringin, attracting many people seeking recreation. The landscape and the event offer different highlights in the same place: the fields are a scenic attraction, while the festival is a recurring occasion. If you choose Durian Tunggal for its rice fields, you have a specific landscape in mind; if you want to attend Pesta D’Sawah, you can add a date to that plan. This lets you weigh up whether the views or a specific festival are the deciding factor for you.
At Pesta D’Sawah 2025, participants at Sawah Bendang Kampung Beringin stirred up fish in the rice fields. The activity was part of the opening ceremony for the WRUR programme in the Durian Tunggal constituency. Pesta D’Sawah takes place annually; the fish-stirring activity took place at this 2025 celebration. If you are travelling specifically for the festival, check the event dates before booking accommodation.
Kayaking in the surrounding area
Outside the town, but in the surrounding area of Durian Tunggal, Resort Agrofarmstay offers kayaking for leisure or more challenging experiences. Kayaks can be rented by the hour or day, and a life jacket is included at no extra charge. The rental period gives you a specific timeframe for planning: hourly and daily rentals differ in how long you rent the kayak for. Choose based on how much time you want to spend paddling, and confirm availability directly with the operator before your visit.
Search for a hotel based on your reason for travelling
When looking for a hotel in Durian Tunggal, first decide what will shape your stay. For Pesta D’Sawah, the specific event date is key; for kayaking, check the rental period and availability. The two options therefore follow different planning approaches: an annual festival with a specific date on the one hand, and an activity with hourly or daily rentals on the other. If you are considering both, decide which one matters most based on your travel dates.
