Comparing the absolute altitude of the Satlej with that of the Bhagirathi,
Fraser comes to some interesting conclusions about the ultimate source of the
Ganges and the breadth of the Himalayan system:¹ »The Sutlej certainly comes
through the snowy hills; and it must be allowed that the difference of altitude,
which these circumstances indicate, proves that the Bhagiruttee cannot do so, its
course even at this point being so very elevated. If it does not come through the
Himāla, its source cannot be far from hence (Gangotri).« He gives the mountainous
region a breadth of 60 to 80 miles at most. He places the »Roodroo Himāla
at the centre of the snowy range and supposes that the mountainous land rather
falls than rises to the north and N.E. of this mountain.
