It is still very much which one is the highest peak in Bangladesh. Tajindong (2740feet), Sippi Arsuyang 3020 feet, Keokaradong 3176feet. In 2008 a British explorer and then followed by some extreme Bangladeshi trekkers got the taste of climbing in the highest peak in Bangladesh. Its in Modok Mowal, right on Bangladesh-Myanmar No-Mans Land. In 15th December 2009 I became a proud conquer to get taste of ADVENTURE TLANG-MOY (only 3rd Team in there).
Saka Hafong
The highest peak of Bangladesh?
The peak is situated in the district of Bandarban. Saka Hafong is also known as Mowdok Taung and Tlang Moy (Taung and Tlang – both of these words means Peak, in Tribal language). It situated at the border of Bangladesh and Myanmar. Though it is not officially the highest peak but some topological map and GPS (Global Positioning System) based survey suggested it is the possible highest peak of Bangladesh. “Saka Hafong” means “the peak of the East” in Tripura tribal language. This name is first published by Nature Adventure Club Bangladesh in 2007.
However, First information was about the published at In February 2006, when British Explorer Ginge Fullen summitted the peak. (Even we can’t get to our own highest peak first, unfortunate right?) He scaled this peak as 1,064 meters (3,486 feet). However, after several GPS surveys conducted by various solo and private teams, the height is considered as 1063 meters, and this is definitely the highest point of Bangladesh.
Trails to summit to this peak start from both Ruma and Thanchi of Bandarban. You can meet wild Murong tribes (the most savage tribe of our country) who may be seen roasting a Cheetah for eating!
