Yage Taung (Burmese: ရိဒ်တောင်) is a peak of the Tenasserim Hills, Burma.[3] This mountain rises within the Tanintharyi National Park which is coterminous with the Kaeng Krachan National Park zone over the border with Thailand.[4]
Yage Taung is located in a wooded and largely uninhabited area of the Tanintharyi Region, 1.4 km to the west of the border with Thailand. The closest conspicuous peaks are 1,431 m high Palan Taung rising less than 6 km to the NNW and 1,315 m high Yekye Tong to the SSE, also by the Thai border.[2]
The nearest inhabited place on the Burmese side is Natthi, a riverside village located 26 km to the WSW.[3]
