Information was always sought for (when the time allowed it) as to the 

 distances and nature of the road between the different places of note be- 

 yond the frontier. The following contain some of the principal particulars 

 collected. 



I. Purbunni on the Setlej to Garu (Gertop.)— -The particulars given by 

 Kissara Das Seyana.

 Richba to Nissang. 



Nissang to Tomba, (no village, fire-wood and shelter.) 

 Tomba to Dabling. 

 Dabling to Namgia. 

 Namgia to Shipki.

From Laling, Garu is three day's journey. A high range called Dangbo 

 is crossed ; some snow on it ; fire-wood scanty. The people beyond Shipki 

 are called Jar or Zar and belong to Wassang or Uchang as it is sometimes 

 called. Beyond Shipki the road is practicable for horses. Rebgealing and 

 Laling are both on the Setlej ; Chaprang is opposite the former ; Mansaro- 

 wer is seven days from Chaprang; Tokbo is the name of the Garu Pergen- 

 nah. Sagtad, Bamtad, Majan, Ludur, Changtaling, and Mapang, are the 

 districts in which shawl wool is chiefly produced. From Chaprang to 

 Chungsa (ISilang on the Jahnavi) six days. A road to Chungsa also from 

 Sangla on the Baspa.
