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 signed in Hat Yai in the 1980s, the authorities began to relax their rules on jungle trekking in the Titiwangsa Range.[citation needed]
Mount Chamah is said to be of the more difficult mountains to trek due to limited access points. However, the place is rather untouched, and tigers still inhabit the mountain.
