Saka Haphong is a peak in Bangladesh and Myanmar that is frequently regarded as the country's highest point, with an elevation of 1,052 meters (3,451 ft). It is located on the Bangladesh–Myanmar border, between Thanchi, Bandarban, Bangladesh and Chin State, Myanmar.
Saka Haphong was thought to be Bangladesh's highest peak, but recent calculations have revealed that Tazing Dong, which is officially recognized as such, is the highest peak in Bangladesh. Ginge Fullen, an English adventurer, recorded a GPS reading of 1,064 metres on this summit in February 2006. The coordinates he recorded, 21°47′11′′N 92°36′36′′E / 21.78639°N 92.61°E, match the coordinates provided by Russian topographic mapping and SRTM data, though the height is slightly lower, at 1,052 metres. Saka Haphong's height was recently measured by two trekking clubs to be 3,488 and 3,461 feet, respectively, both of which exceed the height of Keokradong, which is 3,172 feet.

Zow Tlang, also known as Reang Haphong, is a mountain located on the Bangladesh–Myanmar border. The mountain's elevation is 1,022 meters.
"Zow" in Bawm means "Mizo," a term derived from Mizoram, India. This is most likely because Bangladesh was a part of Greater India prior to 1947. The word "Tlang" means "mountain."

According to Bangla Trek, it is the country's second highest peak, though it is not officially recognized by the government. Many local adventurers regard this as one of Bangladesh's wildest peaks.
Subrata Das Nitish and Bijoy Shankar Kar, two Bangladeshi adventurers, were the first to reach the summit in 2005. The feat was repeated in 2007 by the same team. The altitude could not be measured in these two expeditions because the team did not have a GPS device with them. Tashdid Rezwan Mugdho, Tarikul Alom Sujon, Salehin Arshady, and S.M. Mainul of the Bangla Trek team summited the peak for the third time on January 12, 2012. They took precise measurements of altitude and location. Mugdho and Sujon, two team members, were killed in a bus crash on their way back to Bandarban. Salehin and Mainul, the other two members, were seriously injured.
On October 13, 2013, a team led by Shahzaman Chowdhury Hira became the third to reach the summit. Sharfaraj Hussain Jony, Sidratul Afia Mohona, Mahbubur Rahman, Abdullah Anas Oni, and Baqui Billah Milon were among the six members of this team.

According to Wadud Mohosin Rubel, Asif Aminur Rashid, Nagib Meshkat, and Abdul Haq of the Nature Adventure Club in 2011, the Dumlong or Msha Panji Haphong mountain in Belaichori, Rangamati, Bangladesh, may be the country's second highest mountain. They measured the mountain's height, which is 3314 feet, using a Garmin GPS. The coordinates he recorded, 22°02′02.1′′N 92°35′36.3′′E, exactly match the coordinates provided by Google Earth.
The Travelers of Bangladesh team led by Zaqiul Deep measured this peak as 3,312 feet a few months after his expedition. Following that, Fahim Hasan of BD Explorer became the third team to reach the summit of Dumlong. There is little doubt about the height of Dumlong Peak, but whether it is the second or third highest peak in the country has yet to be determined. It is the highest point in the Rangamati hill district and one of three 1000-meter peaks in Bangladesh.
