Q. Pangsau Pass, which was seen in news, lies between which two countries?
Answer: India and Myanmar
Notes: The Pangsau Pass International Festival was recently celebrated in Nampong, Arunachal Pradesh. Pangsau Pass, at 3,727 feet, lies on the India-Myanmar border in the Patkai Hills. It is named after Pangsau, a Burmese village 2 km from the pass, and serves as an easy route to Burma from Assam. Historically, it was the route of the 13th-century Ahom invasion and gained fame during WWII as a key obstacle in General Stilwell’s effort to build a route to China. The nearby "Lake of No Return" in Myanmar is visible from the pass. The pass is also known as "Hell Gate" for its challenging terrain.
