| Summary: | Mount Chamah (peak: 2171 m) is the highest point in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia and is one of the
mountain peaks of the Main (Titiwangsa) Range, the “backbone” of Peninsular Malaysia. Preliminary
identification and mapping of geological attractions in Mount Chamah area have been conducted by Universiti
Malaysia Kelantan in collaboration with Kelantan State Forestry Department in 2011. Like other areas in the
range, Mount Chamah area was also formed mostly of intrusive (granitic) rocks. Several main geological
attractions in the area have been identified, such as Pichong River, Lata Pichong Waterfall, “Boat Rock”
outcrop, and the morphologic panorama of the summit area. |
