Taungup Pass is a mountain corridor connecting India with

The Taungup Pass is a strategic mountain corridor located in the Arakan Mountains (also known as Rakhine Yoma) in Myanmar [4]. It serves as a vital transport link connecting the coastal Rakhine State with the central Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) River valley, specifically linking the town of Taungup with Pyay. Historically, this pass was a significant route for the movement of people and goods, including the evacuation of civilians from Burma during the 1942 colonial disaster. While other passes like the Dihang, Diphu, and Pangsau passes directly connect Indian states like Arunachal Pradesh to Myanmar [2], the Taungup Pass is part of the broader mountain system that defines the border region and connects the coastal Arakan division to the rest of Myanmar [2]. Consequently, it is the mountain corridor that connects India's neighbor, Myanmar, internally and with the surrounding region.
