Location
The location of the Milakatong La has been inaccurate in many historical sources. Per modern research, it is at the top of a valley that leads to the valley of the Tsona Chu river. In the upstream direction, Tsona Chu provides a route to Tsona Dzong. Downstream, Tsona Chu joints the Tawang Chu river.
