Route No. 241.
From Yárkand (Turkistán) to Káshgar (Turkistán).
A principal route, passable for horses and even for camels.
Literature: Humboldt's Central Asien, Vol. II., p. 228.—
Izzet Ullah, in Quarterly Oriental Magazine, Vol. III.
1825, pp. 285-6.
General Remarks. On this route neither high passes nor large rivers have to be crossed. The name of a town, "Jaferende," was unknown to those of whom we inquired. The stages are short and easy, and, in case of emergency, can be reduced to three.
Yárkand, 38° 10′; 74° 0′; ab. 4,400 ft., the capital of Turkistán.
△ Kókiar.
△ Késseli.
△ Chámelung.

Yángsar, or Yanghissar, a small place.
Paltchák (Izzet Ullah's Paichand).
Káshgar, 39° 15′; 71° 50′; ab. 3,500 ft., a large and important town, where the Russians have now established a factory. Yángsar to Káshgar may be made in one day, but it is a very long stage.
