Route 6 to PAVEH and NAUSUD takes
off to left.
(If it is desired to make this a stage, a
good camping ground exists on the banks
of the AB-I-RAZAWAR f mile left
with good water but no supply facilities.
Alternatively TAK-T-BOSTAN could be
made the first stage and SARBALA the
second). Road cuts across the 2^ mile
long base of a triangular salient with
its apex in the hills two miles right.
This is a marshy stretch and before the
present road was built up on an embank
ment the old wet weather track made a
detour to the right to hug the hills and
keep to the higher ground. Excep
tional rain might even now render this
latter the safer road. It rejoins the new
road at mile 16|.
16| End of marshy stretch. N Village of
AHMADABAD (40 houses).
YI\ Extensive graveyard—spring—ruined vil
lage on a mound on left.
19i Extensive plain—very boggy in wet
weather. Embankment is narrow with
almost perpendicular sides which will
not stand up after rain. Vehicles must
keep to the crown of the road—passing
impossible.
20^ Village 10 huts near a mound on the left
SIAH CHIA.
22i SARABALA (SARAHBALAH) a village
of 20 houses under the hill on right.
Dense trees and reed beds in the stream
close by on the left. Road blocks would
be effective here, also south and east of
GAKIA (G. 8098) and at KURSARAB
(B. 7903) and SARAI (B. 7605).
(i) Camping ground .—On right of road—
sufficient for a brigade—clay soil with
stony surface—entrances and exits,
easy—M. T. can park on site after
smoothing irrigation channels and
