ROUTE NO. VH (e).
GARMAKHAN to MANEH (KASHKABAD).
29\ miles.
2 stages.
Authority. —Napier, 1894.
Epitome. Road fit for camels. The path through the Zii
defile is practicable for laden animals, but to make a road for
wheeled transport would be a work of immense labour, for the
cliffs frequently overhang the unfordable river, and are almost
continuously inaccessible to infantry. An easier line might
be found skirting the heights on right bank, but would cross a
difficult ridge of 1,800 feet to 2,000 feet.
Camping ground .—Camping ground for a small party only
to be found near Dungir, where it is probably impossible to
procure any but very small supplies.
W ater. —Abundant.
No. of stage
and total
distance.

Khan down the Atrak valley skirting the hills on left, river
winding through cultivated lands and marsh about 1 mile to
right. At 2nd mile pass village of Ak Kila. At 6th mile pass
Abdulabad. At 8th mile Suruk, across river, whence bridle
path passes over hills N. to Katlish in the Shirln Darreh. At
11J miles pass hamlet Kurdanlu at mouth of defile of Zu.
Path to this point level and wide, requiring little to make it
practicable for wheels. At 12th mile cross Atrak by rickety
wooden bridge. Stream unfordable, flowing between steep
banks with muddy bottom. Thence follow right bank by
narrow path hemmed in between bends of river and steep
cliffs; at 13f miles reach gardens of hamlet Dungir on left
bank. Defile opens, but is still commanded by cliffs on either
hand. Good bridle path to Bujnurd turns off up glen on left.
