Pangsau Pass or Pan Saung Pass, 3,727 feet (1,136 m) in altitude, lies on the crest of the Patkai Hills on the India-Burma (Myanmar) border. The pass offers one of the easiest routes into Burma from the Assam plains. It is named after the closest Burmese village, Pangsau, that lies 2 km beyond the pass to the east.
Famous quotes containing the word pass:
“Do you remember you shot a seagull? A man came by chance, saw it and destroyed it, just to pass the time.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
