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 Bangladesh
Saka Haphong is believed to be the highest peak of Bangladesh. In February 2006 a GPS reading of 1,064 metres was recorded on this summit by Nature And Adventure Club Ginge Fullen. The location he recorded, 21°47′11″N 92°36′36″E / 21.78639°N 92.61°E, accurately matches the location given by Russian topographic mapping and SRTM data, although these sources show its height to be slightly lower, at 1,052 metres. 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, both of which exceeds the height of Keokradong which is 3,172 feet (967 m) feet high.
