Road leads down the slope of the plateau for
about a mile, then over broken ground to the
Ab-i-Sabz, which is crossed by a bridge about 25
feet long, constructed of timbers laid on two
piers of stone. Kiver about 20 feet broad and 4 feet deep, current very rapid. Near the
bridge is the village of Chehar Takht (altitude 5,700’). After crossing the river a short
sharp ascent and then more broken or rolling ground. The head of the pass reached at 9
miles. The gradient of the first third of the descent to Dopulan was easy, the road being
wide and winding along the hill side, the next third became bad, steep, narrow and
stony, running down a gully between two spurs of the hill. During the last third the gully
opens out and the road again becomes wide and good with an easy gradient. The village
of Dopulan was reached in an hour and ten minutes from the top, the descent being 1,400
feet.
