Today, The Times of India is carrying renewed calls to formally reopen the “Stilwell Road” between northeastern India and southwestern China – across northern Burma. With a border crossing open between China and India at the Nathu La Pass, we will, no doubt, see more pressure to revitalise other trade routes between the world’s two most populous nations.
The Times article notes that 1,033 km of this road (and I use the term loosely) “lies within the jungle-covered mountains and swampy valleys of northern Myanmar’s Kachin State”.
Anybody who has undertaken any journeys in that part of the world will understand that maintaining such a road as a trade link will be a gigantic undertaking…
Hi there,
My name is Khine and I’m Burmese. I’ve lived overseas for the past 20 years but would return to Burma every year for a visit.
The past 2 years however, I decided to set time aside to pursue my interest in WWII sites in Burma and did some research on my own while I lived in the States. (I am now back in Burma).
I’ve traveled with a few American veterans on the Burma Road and traveled on the Ledo Road with two Americans in January. I’m planning to do it again, this time to get to Pangsau Pass from Shingbwiyang in Burma. No one is allowed to cross the border at Pangsau into India or from India into Burma.
My webiste is something to promote awareness of Burma and of the WWII sites I’ve visited so far. I am not a travel agent although I work with one to help me organize the arrangements.
I have to look into this Nathu La pass.. Thanks for the info.
Sincerely,
