India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway

India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway, a 3,200-km highway that will connect India with the ASEAN. 

  • The highway is going to link Moreh in Manipur (India) via Mandalay city (Myanmar) to Mae Sot in Thailand. 
The highway is considered an important land route that connects India with Southeast Asia and beyond. 

The 3,200 km-long road begins at the India-Myanmar border town of Moreh (in Manipur) and passes through several Myanmarese towns including, Tamu, Kalewa, Yargyi, Monya, Mandalay, Meiktila, Myawaddy and finally reaches Mae Sot in Thailand. 
  • The four-lane highway is part of the proposed ASEAN East-West Corridor. 
  • There is also a plan to link this road with the Trans Asian Highway-1 that runs from Japan (via ferry) to Turkey, where it connects the European highway after traversing through the Asian continent.
