History
During the period of the Communist Insurgency, this area was out of bounds for ordinary citizens. However, after the peace agreement between the Malaysian government and the communists that was signed in Hat Yai in the 1980s, the authorities began to relax their rules on jungle trekking in the Titiwangsa Range.
Hiking
Mount Chamah, being one of the G7 mountains, is considered by experts to be a challenging mountain to climb due to its limited access points. The area is mostly uncharted and hosts a population of Malayan tigers. Care should be taken when attempting any ascent, due to these factors.
