The Stilwell road which was constructed by the allied army during the World War II connects Ledo in Assam with Kunming of the Yunan province of China.
Along with the transit point at Moreh, the Stilwell road could well be connected to the Asian Highway project through the Hukwang valley of Myanmar forming a network of radial roads for the future.
Even if there is a skeptical view about the immediate commercial viability of the Stilwell road, re-opening of this road will revive the close cultural, emotional and spiritual relations of a large number of ethnic groups living in India, Myanmar and South East China triggering a new era of travel, pilgrimage and tourism.
