Abstract
HAVING left Tezpur, an ancient Assamese town, on the right bank of the Brahmaputra, towards the end of April last year, and crossed the outer range of the Assam Himalaya by the Pankim La at 10,000 ft., I arrived in the dry river valleys early in May. There is only one possible route over the great range in a distance of three hundred miles, between the Bhutan frontier and the gorge of the Brahmaputra; east of the Bhareli River savage tribes Daflas, Akas, Abors and others bar the way. Travelling leisurely northwards, the Tibetan frontier was crossed by the Se La (14,000 ft.) early in June and Monyul was reached. The rainy season had begun, and this part of the journey, over a series of moderately high passes, was cold and wet.
