Tazing Dong (also known as Bijay) is a peak in Bangladesh. Officially, it is 1,280 metres high and claimed to the highest mountain in Bangladesh.[1] It is located in the "Saichol Mountain ranges", Ruma Upazila, Bandarban District, southeastern of Bangladesh. Formerly, it was thought that Keokradong was the highest mountain in Bangladesh, but modern instruments have proved the claim to be wrong.[2] Research proved that Saka Haphong is the highest peak in Bangladesh,[3] but although this research is consistent with modern mapping, it is not recognized by authorities.
