Kennedy Peak is a 2,703-metre (8,868 ft) peak in the Tedim Township, Chin State, Myanmar that dominates the Tedim Road. It is one of the world's ultra-prominent peaks, as it rises 4,951 feet (more than 1500 m) above all other peaks nearby. It is the second highest mountain in Chin State, next to Mount Victoria.
It was the site of a battle during World War II in which Ram Sarup Singh, a subedar of the British Indian army, led his unit with great bravery in attacking and capturing a strong Japanese-held position, then persisting despite wounds in defending it against counterattacks, until killed. He was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.
It was also the site of another battle on 21 November 2023 where local People's Defence Force units seized a military base on the peak during the current civil war. The Zoland PDF killed three regime troops and seized weapons and ammunition. The junta responded with an MI-35 helicopter attack.
There's a trail leading to the summit.
