View from the Kunzam Pass, elevation 14,931 ft., 1866
Scope and Contents
297 x 241 mm. View from the top of the pass looking down the steep, boulder strewn hillside towards the valley floor and snowcapped peaks on the further side. The pass lies to the NW of the Hamta Pass, ‘The road, for a few miles further, still kept company with the Chandra river, when presently turning to the right we bid adieu to its muddy waters and crossed the Kunzam Pass, 14,931 ft. elevation. There was now no snow on this pass, and at the top we found some grassy tableland and several large flocks of sheep brought here to graze in the summer months. I obtained one picture here of a fine range of snows on the opposite side of the valley we had just quitted’, (B.J.P., 31 December 1869, p. 629). Bourne no. 1454.
