Pangsau Pass in December

The 3,700ft window into Myanmar.

Quick answer. Winter. Snow returns to the high passes; valley circuits run with weather buffers. For Pangsau Pass specifically, December is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why December here

The historic pass on the Stilwell Road, with Burma’s hills rolling away below and the border lake at its foot.

Pangsau Pass, at about 3,700ft on the India-Myanmar line, is the historic crossing of the Ledo-Stilwell Road: a viewpoint over Burmese ranges with the Lake of No Return in the valley, reachable on the Nampong climb with ILP.

What to do

Lake of No Return

The still border lake with its vanishing legends.
