Pangsau Pass or Pan Saung Pass, 3,727 feet (1,136 m) (Burmese: ပန်ဆေလမ်းကြောင်းာ) in altitude, lies on the crest of the Patkai Hills on the India–Myanmar border. The pass offers one of the easiest routes into Burma from the Assam plains. The pass lies on the famous Ledo Road (Stillwell Road) and named after the closest village on Myanmar's territory, Pangsau, which lies 2 km east of the pass. India's undisputed easternmost point "Chaukan Pass" - east of Vijaynagar in the Changlang district - lies northeast of Pangsau Pass.
