With Thibet there are two routes of communication.
On the Dudhkosi is Lamja, to which the Bhotiyas come at all seasons. The Alps extend two day’s journey beyond it, on the banks of the Dudhkosi; afterwards there is a plain country. The road from Kalesi to Lamja Gola is as follows:
One day’s journey to Rawa, a large town with a fort. The country fully occupied.
One day to Hakula, a large village. The country here, also, is well inhabited.
One day’s journey to Jubing, a large village.
One day to Ghat, a village inhabited chiefly by Bhotiyas, the climate being too cold for the mountain Hindus.
One day’s journey from thence to Lamja, also inhabited by Bhotiyas. The imports are as usual from that country, but there are no duties.
The other route to Thibet, from this district, is towards Dudhkunda, a place in Thibet, where there is a very great annual fair. The road, commencing at Lengleng, at the junction of the Tamha and San Kosi, is as follows:
One day to Namari, a large village.
One day to Jirikampti, where the Raja of Gorkha has 10,000 or 12,000 cows on fine plain land, kept waste on purpose.
