Which mountain pass links Nagaland in India with the Sagaing Region of Myanmar?

Concept

A border passage is identified by matching the place attached to it with the political regions on both sides of the frontier. In exam geography, the associated border settlement and district help distinguish similarly named hills, peaks, valleys, and villages.

Application

Longwa, also written Lungwa, is a Konyak settlement in Nagaland’s Mon district that straddles the India–Myanmar border. The Myanmar side lies in the Sagaing Region, so the associated Lungwa (Longwa) passage is the offered value that links the two regions.

Contrast

• Dzukou denotes the high-altitude valley on the Nagaland–Manipur hill boundary.

• Saramati denotes Nagaland’s highest mountain, approached from the Thanamir area of Kiphire district.

• Khonomo resembles Khonoma, the historic Angami village in Kohima district.

• Lungwa (Longwa) denotes the Mon-district border settlement spanning India and Myanmar.

Cross-check

The Government of India’s official Mon District portal states that Longwa straddles India and Myanmar. GKToday and Testbook independently identify Lungwa Pass as the Nagaland crossing linked with Myanmar’s Sagaing Region; the other offered names denote a valley, a peak, or a Kohima-area settlement.

Result

The mountain pass asked for is Lungwa (Longwa) Pass.
