About Endau Rompin (4WD) Four Wheel Driving

Malaysia’s rugged terrain, dense rain forests and numerous mountainous regions make it an irresistible destination for off road driving enthusiasts. Mud, heat, sloping hills and rainstorms add to the challenge in the grueling and exhilarating sport of off road driving.

With 58 per cent of the country still under jungle cover, Malaysia’s terrain bring out the best of man and machine in a test of skill under ever changing conditions.

The three international off road events held in Malaysia annually around October and November are the Trans Borneo International Rally, the National Challenge and the Rainforest International Challenge of Malaysia.

The casual visitor may not be cut out for the rigours of world class international events like the year-end Camel Trophy or the Rainforest Challenge, two of the world of 4X4 driving’s most competitive events. However, there is nothing to stop an interested novice from learning the rudiments of off road or 4X4 driving and having an exciting time exploring places off the beaten track.

Because of the rugged terrain and the jolts and bumps sustained during a drive, participants need to be of a sound body and constitution.

Off road driving is a year round activity, but depending on the level of expertise of the driver, some months are better than others. The dry season from March to October make for firmer terrain and less mud.
