Which of the following mountain passes forms a tri-junction between India, China and Myanmar?
Diphu Pass
Diphu Pass is correct.
Diphu Pass lies in the eastern Himalaya at the point where Arunachal Pradesh (India), Tibet (China) and Myanmar meet, so it forms the tri-junction of the three countries. It is close to the eastern end of the McMahon Line and is a strategically important route between India and Myanmar.
The other passes do not touch Myanmar. Jelep La and Nathu La both link Sikkim with the Chumbi Valley of Tibet (China); Nathu La was also on the old Silk Route trade path. Bomdi La is in the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh and links the state with Tibet. Each of these lies only on the India-China frontier.
