It is located in Burma on the border with Thailand.

It extends from the Dawna Range for about 400 km along the frontier area to the Kra Isthmus.

The Bilauktaung includes Myinmoletkat Taung 2,072 m, the highest point of the northern section of the Tenasserim range, and, with a prominence of 1,857 m, one of the ultra prominent peaks of Southeast Asia.

[2] The whole Bilauktaung is sparsely inhabited and covered with thick tropical rain forest.

Usually the western mountainsides are more heavily forested than the eastern for they receive heavier monsoon rains.
