Route No. 99.

From KATHI (Kämion) to A BÄGDOAR (Kämion).

From Kâthi . a road is said to lead directly via Nâmik to p Bägdoâr, impassable for horses, in two marches. We could not hear of any further detail, except that the passes are not very high, and that no glacier is met with. This road is not indicated on any map.

From p Bâgdoâr the route leads then to Mulum. in two marches. See Route No. 11.

Route No. 100.

From KÂTHI (Kämion) to MÎLUM (Kämäon).

This route, impassable for horses, is a difficult one under all circumstances, especially on account of the Traill's, or Nanda Khät pass (17,770 ft.). It is, however, the most direct route to Mum, full of interest and excitement for a small party, who can bear up against fatigue.

As yet only two instances of its having been crossed are known to us; the first time by Mr. Traill, the second by our brother Adolphe, May 30, 1855. Great difficulties may be experienced in finding guides and kalis, therefore begin to inquire already along your route for such people.
