Saka Haphong is believed to be the highest peak of Bangladesh.[3][4] 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.[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.
