In 2011 Md. Wadud Mohosin Rubel with his three travel
fellows, Asif Aminur Rashid, Nagib Meshkat & Abdul Haque have claimed the
mountain "Dumlong" to be the second highest mountain; on the basis of
Garmin GPS they have measured the height of the mountain which is 3314 feet.
The location he recorded, 22°02′02.1″N 92°35′36.3″E, accurately matches the
location given by Google Earth.[4][8] Few months after this expedition,
travelers of Bangladesh team led by Zaqiul Deep measured this peak which was
3,312 feet. Few months later Fahim hasan of BD Explorer Reached the summit of
Dumlong as 3rd team. Surely there is no doubt about the height of Dumlong peak
but whether it is the 2nd or 3rd Highest peak of the country, is not confirmed
yet. It is the highest peak of Rangamati hill district and also the one of only
three 1000 meters peaks in Bangladesh. In 2014, several teams have summitted
Zow Tlang and based on their readings it can be said that Dumlong is the third
highest peak of the country.
