The northern of the two usable crossings of the Rakhine Yoma, running from the Arakan coast over to the Irrawaddy at Minbu: three or four days on foot, no wheeled traffic, impassable in the rains.
This is why Arakan is a separate country: the mountain between it and Burma is closed for half the year. The campaign board's point is at 19.78, 94.30; the village of Ann on the Arakan side is at 19.92, 94.03 and Ngape on the Irrawaddy side at 19.96, 94.44.
