228 RETURN TO JULLUNDER. 



swollen from the bite of some reptile, and 

 exceedingly painful, so I was glad enough 

 to get in. Leaving Wilson in charge of 

 Mr. Barnes and Major Herbert, the most 

 hospitable of the hospitable, I set out next 

 day to return to Jullunder, where I arrived 

 with my foot in a bad state ; but my old 

 friend the doctor, and a few days' rest, soon 

 put it to rights. 



Altogether, the trip was a successful one ; 

 and a couple more months, would have 

 made it perfect. The scenery is very fine in 

 Koonawur and Lahoul. In Spitee there is 

 not much, except the Tartars, to repay you 

 for the journey. But in Kooloo, there is both 

 scenery and sport, to reward the traveller, 

 and no rain. Having now seen all this 

 part of the Himalayas, I am able to decide 

 unhesitatingly, that nowhere in these hills, is 

 the scenery to be compared with that of the 

 district twenty miles above the Temple at 

 Gangoutrie. 



At a later period, I received from Wilson, 

 some pages of his Himalayan reminiscences.
