    Saka Haphong (Bengali: সাকা হাফং, Burmese: ဆကးအဖောင် တောင်) is a peak in Southeast Asia and South Asia which was discovered by A.K.M Shahidullah Kaiser Sazzad Hossain and many others. Located on the Bangladesh–Myanmar border, it is situated between Thanchi, Bandarban, Bangladesh and the Chin State of Myanmar.

    Saka Haphong is believed to be the highest peak of Bangladesh.

    SRTM data, although these sources show its height to be slightly lower, at 1,052 metres.[5] Recently two trekking clubs counted the height of Saka Haphong as 3,488 feet (1,063 m) and 3,461 feet (1,055 m) respectively,[6] both of which exceeds the height of Keokradong
    which is 3,172 feet (967 m) feet high.
