There is a ford at Harigah (q.v.). There is also a ford at Kullul, down in
a steep cutting, which is said to have a soft bottom, and to be impassable
in April. The approach to the ford near Kuraband (which appears to be

mud, which extends for some miles before the river is reached, and in
which a well-laden mule sinks in above its knees.—(Chick, 1910.)
