Angoching is a hill range that lies in the Indo-Myanmar frontier. It is one of Manipur's eastern hills that form a continuous chain along the Indo-Myanmar border for approximately 200 km, with an average height of 1,500 m. This hill range is bounded by the Chamu River in the west, Myanmar in the east, and Kachouphung in the north.
