Mauri valley. Cross the Hazar Cham (alt.
6,750 ft.) to
Gala-i-Kuchnz.
Qalah Bazuft (alt. 5,850 ft.). (Eoute to Isfahan via Ardal,
see Routes in Persia, iii. 82.)
Gardan-i-Chari (alt. 9,200 ft.). From the top of this pass

in June).
Chandar (alt. 8,010 ft.) in upper Karun valley. Cross
Gul-i-Gushgak (8,800 ft.) into
Zarrin valley. Here the authority seems to have made
a detour to E. through the Tang-i-Gazi to Kangunak,
and thence back to Chashmeh-i-Dimeh. According to
map, I. D. sheet 9 L, 1915, Chashmeh-i-Dimeh can be
reached from the Zarrin valley either by a detour to W.

Zarrin col and passing the W. end of the Tang-i-Gazi).
Chashmeh-i-Dimeli (alt. 7,610 ft.). Camping-place, fodder
and firewood. Thence by good mule-track, leading
apparently in a general NW. direction, passing several
spaces suitable for camping, up to
Gnl-i-Gav, a col 10,150 ft. in altitude. Water and fuel
plentiful: grazing scarce.
From here there is a fairly easy descent into the Chilhasli
valley.
Pass Ser Sahid village and imanizadeJt in a fold of the
Kuh Rita. Here route v, above, joins from Dizful.
Camp by Chilhash stream. Thence over Birguu col
• down a thickly wooded valley (Warreh. Rasia) and over
a great spur from the Gartak mountain, the ascent of
which is steep in parts, but has an excellent mule-track,
and can easily be ridden on horseback. The summit is
1,700 ft. above the bottom of the ascent. Descent less
steep to
Chashmeh Sirdnm in ravine. Good water, fuel, and
grazing.
Over Gartak mountain, by a fair track, somewhat difficult
in parts, to
