Tazing Dong

Tazing Dong is a peak in Bangladesh. Officially, it is 1,280 metres high and claimed to be the highest mountain in Bangladesh. It is located in the "Saichol Mountain ranges", Ruma Upazila, Bandarban District, in southeastern Bangladesh. Formerly, it was thought that Keokradong was the highest mountain in Bangladesh, but modern instruments have proved the claim to be wrong. Research proved that Saka Haphong is the highest peak in Bangladesh, but although this research is consistent with modern mapping, it is not recognised by authorities.
