rest of the week ; the shops are there, but their
doors are shut. Then on the market day
everything bursts into life, and hundreds of
men and women from the country round, all
dressed in their best, come swarming in.
We put up that day in a delightful fruit
garden, and my bed was made in a bower of
vines, where the grapes hung in enormous
clusters, ready to drop into my mouth. Two
days later we reached Kugiar, an extensive
village, where all supplies were gathered, in
preparation for our plunge into the mountains.
We were now among the outlying spurs of the
great barrier which divides the plains of India
from those of Turkestan. Of this barrier the
nearest range is called the Kuen-lun, the centre
the Mustagh or Karakoram, and the farthest
the Himalayas.
On leaving Kugiar we headed directly into
these mountains, and were fairly launched on
our voyage of exploration, though the first
three marches had been traversed by members
of the Forsyth Mission. We crossed an easy
pass named the Tupa Dawan, and then ascended
a valley in which were a few huts and some felt
tents belonging to a race called Pakhpu.
