Route No. 71.

From GÎLGIT (Gilgit) to YÂRKAND (Turkistan).

A secondary route, passable for horses. Literature: Montgomerie's Memorandum, pp. 11, 12.

This route proceeds for the first two marches from Gilgit to Hnnze (a place called by the Jagestân people Kanjut). "From Hnnze," Captain Montgomerie says, "there are three roads to Yârkand : one, that takes twelve, another eight, .an 'a another no more than four days—the last being only known to the natives of the countries, and not to the merchants who go to Yârkand" Captain Montgomerie himself styles the four days' marches " apocryphal," and they really are so, the error emanating most probably from the .circumstance that there are four marches from Henze to the junction with the Shigar road to Yârkand.

From Hnnze the road to Yarkand crosses the Hnnze pass in the Karakorum chain (which is scarcely less than 18,000 ft. in height), and then at Châ,ngal joins the route from Skârdo to Yarkand (see Route No. 196). In fact, it may be positively stated, that there are as many as 23 marches between Gilgit and Yârkancl.
