Nature of the Routes: I have made the following distinctions:¹
Principal Routes: these are all passable for horses.²
Secondary Routes: a) passable for horses; b) impassable for horses.
As yet carriages and carts can be used nowhere in the Himálaya and Tibet, but
only in the western parts of Kókand, where, as we were informed, they are called
"Árba."
Each of the routes is preceded by remarks on its nature, on the literature
hitherto published, and on the maps which may be of use to the traveller.
Principal and intermediate Stages. The principal stages are distinguished
at the beginning of the line by being printed in large italics; the intermediate stages
—viz. those best suited for an occasional encamping ground, or a halt for breakfast—
are also given (as often as I could find them for those purposes), and are printed in
small italics.
△ denotes an uninhabited spot, or a pasture-ground which may be used as a
halting-place. Such pasture-grounds, or caravan-stations, very often have different
names among different tribes; and though I have endeavoured as far as possible, to
give the various names known to me to exist for the same place, yet there will
remain a considerable number for which the traveller may perhaps hear a different
designation to that given in the route-book.
I have frequently indicated the time required for performing the journey from
one principal stage to another, or the distance in miles. An ordinary principal stage
takes from six to seven hours, a long one extends from eight to ten. It is, however,
to be borne in mind that the time required for going up a valley is considerably
greater than that for going down.
