Mowdok Mual or Shaka Haphong is a peak in Bangladesh, often considered the highest point of this country, with an altitude of 1,052 metres (3,451 ft). It is located on the border between Bangladesh and Burma.

It is not officially the highest peak of Bangladesh, but studying maps and other info and data it is possibly there are no other peak higher than that. Mowdok Mual is locally also known as Saka Haphong or Clan Moy. In February 2006 a GPS reading of 1,064 metres was recorded on this summit by English adventurer 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.

Saka Haphlong is a mountain on the Bangladesh and Myanmar border in Bangladesh. Recently two trekking clubs counted the height of "Saka Haphong" as 3,488 and 3,461 feet respectively. Any of these two figure would make it the highest mountain in Bangladesh exceeding the height of Keokradong, which is 3,172 feet high.
