Malaysia 4x4 Tour Packages

For the casual driver, the dry months between March and October are best, but the determined driver will welcome the extra challenges brought by monsoon rains between November and February.

Some of the best off road driving in Peninsular Malaysia can be found in the remoter regions. A premier site is Gua Musang in Kelantan, which is connected by hundreds of kilometers of logging tracks to Cameron Highlands in Pahang and Lasah in Perak. The Kenyir Lake area in Terengganu, and Endau-Rompin, Chini Lake and Sg. Lembing in Pahang are also popular off road routes. But there are also good off road driving sites near major cities. Kuala Kubu Bahru, just two hours' drive from Kuala Lumpur, offers mild to moderate off road routes in a delightful rural setting.

4X4 Training

The program is designed to prepare and train a novice to handle a 4WD vehicle in harsh off-road terrain safely & confidently (rated as medium), to explore the vehicle's off-roading capability & to learn about the function of related equipments including recovery techniques & winching. The various skills learned will be applied during the actual Expedition Trip, with a medium difficulty level, subscribing to the “learn - apply - assimilate” process.

The journey is through one of the oldest rainforest on planet Earth, where “mother-nature” is the classroom for the life-transforming lessons to be learned.
