are all the easier that the watershed here is approached on the south by easy trough-like uplands
curiously resembling small Pāmīrs.¹⁴ The westernmost of these open high valleys is drained by
the head-waters of the Kāghān river. On the north it gives access to a succession of Chilās passes,
of which the Bābusar pass (13,680 feet) has since 1893 been traversed by a well-made mule road.
This connects Chilās through the fairly open valley of the Kunhār or Kāghān river with the
fertile British district of Hazāra, and ever since the occupation of Chilās has carried a considerable
amount of trade and traffic proceeding to Gilgit and beyond.
Route
connecting
Chilās with
Hazāra. Hazāra, the ancient Uraśā, appears during the greater part of the pre-Muhammadan period
for which we possess historical records as a territory subject to the rulers of Kashmīr.¹⁵ It may
hence be safely assumed that this most direct and easiest of all routes connecting Chilās with
India must have also been made use of during the times when the Chinese garrisons placed in
Gilgit and Yāsīn were maintained by means of supplies from Kashmīr. This assumption is particu-
larly confirmed by the specific reference made to salt in the letter of the Tokhāristān ruler above
quoted. This important commodity is not found in Kashmīr. Obviously when Chinese troops
had to be supplied with it in Gilgit, it would be imported, just as it is at the present day for the
needs of the garrisons in the Gilgit Agency, by the nearest route from the source of supply in the
Salt Range, i. e. by the road leading up to the Kāghān river head-waters and thus to Chilās. In
the same way rice, too, which parts of Hazāra produce in plenty, may have been imported by this
route and not solely from the Kashmīr valley.

valley
route. I have already referred to the fact that the Kāghān valley route as well as those leading to
Chilās from the Kishangangā were in need of some improvement before they could be conveniently
followed by traffic with laden animals. But this in no way militates against their extensive use
for transport in earlier times. Natural obstacles on these tracks could easily be overcome by
recourse to men as bearers, and we have abundant historical evidence to show that such recourse
