Pangsau Pass in March

The 3,700ft window into Myanmar.

Quick answer. Spring begins. The central circuit (Tezpur-Bhalukpong-Bomdila-Dirang-Tawang, about 350km) improves as days warm. For Pangsau Pass specifically, March is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why March 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.
