Hsawnghsup was one of the outlying Shan princely states in what is today Burma.
The village of Thaungdut (Hsawnghsup) was formerly the residence of the Sawbwa of Hsawnghsup State.[1]
Hsawnghsup formed an exclave located to the northwest of the Shan States, within the Upper Chindwin District of British Burma and bound to the west by the princely state of Manipur. Most of the territory of the state was dense forest.[1] In 1886 the ruler of Hsawnghsup remained loyal to the British during the rebellion of the prince of Wuntho.[2]
