Bandarban District, Chittagong Hill Tracts, near the Myanmar border, southeastern Bangladesh · Bangladesh
Saka Haphong
Saka Haphong is a remote, densely forested peak in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of southeastern Bangladesh, rising along the disputed international border with Myanmar in Bandarban District. It is widely — though not universally or officially — recognized as the highest point in Bangladesh, a title long contested with the better-known Keokradong and with claims once made for a peak called Tajingdong. The mountain is also known locally as Mowdok Mual, Modowk Taung, Tlang Moy, or by its poetic Bengali nickname 'Sopno Chura' ('Dream Peak'). Reaching the summit requires a multi-day trek through indigenous Bawm, Mro, and Khumi villages from the towns of Ruma or Thanchi, with a local guide mandatory. As of this record's research date, the mountain's exact elevation and precise summit position had never been definitively confirmed by an official government survey, and Bangladesh's Ministry of Defense was conducting a new GNSS-based measurement campaign to try to settle the question.
