Dr Th. Thomson who travelled in the western parts of Himalaya 1847—48
says of the uppermost Indus that it had been less known than any other part in
Tibet. But Captain Strachey very much reduced the unknown portion. It rises in
the mountains north of the lakes of Mansarawer and Rawan Rhad, and runs in general
towards the N. W. »Moorcroft has described its appearance at Garu or Gartop, where
it is a very insignificant stream; but the intervening country is so little known, ex-
cept by native report, that we can scarcely be said to have an exact knowledge of
the upper part of its course.» He is not quite sure of the eastern branch laid down
on some maps. From the arid and snowless nature of the country through which
it must flow Thomson finds it probable that it is a very small stream, but its length
may be considerable. ¹
