On the Gumti River, a considerable 

 town. The residence of the Sultan- 

 pura Mamlatdar. Supplies abundant. 



Formerly a large town, now totally in 

 ruins, with a Fort and the remains of 

 good houses. Beautiful trees and a 

 small river. 



At 2 miles distance from Sultanpura 

 pass Tulwaee, formerly a Ryut vil- 

 lage, now inhabited by Bheels. 8 miles 

 further on, cross the Kamti U'tar a 

 small river. After which the ascents 

 commence. 2 miles from the river 

 reach a place called Haldia, being a 

 deep Khoond, but no village. Water 

 abundant. « 



6 miles from last halting ground pass 

 a small Bheel village called Sukal- 

 jeri, and 3 miles further on Kalapani, 

 where formerly a few Bheels resided. 

 The road is tolerable to Sukaljeri, 

 thence a steep ascent succeeded by 

 several sharp pitches, and one descent 

 to Kalapani. From Kalapani to Turan 

 Mall ^ a mile the ascent is very 

 steep. On reaching the summit of the 

 hill the road to the lake is over level 

 ground.
