A pass leading from the upper Linjan valley into the Chehar Mahal. It
lies on the 3rd stage from Isfahan (43 miles) on the Bakhtiari caravan road.
The pass consists of dip in a lower ridge which is in prolongation of a higher
and rocky mountain to the south-east, and in this direction it cannot be
turned nearer than the Anjireh pass, 9 miles distant. The ridge to the north
west is accessible for mules. The ascent from the north is tedious and
continuous for 2 miles, followed by a steep ziz-zag climb for 1 mile.
This with a little improvement would be quite passable by guns.
At present, artillery could be driven double-harnessed to a point
a mile below the pass. The descent to the south-west is easy. Guns coming
from the direction of Qehfarukh could be driven to within f a mile o? the
top. The village of Qehfarukh is reached 10 miles from the summit. A
track also branches at 1 mile from the summit on the north side of the pass
due west to Deh Kurd (13 miles). On the summit is a stone hut occupied
by 3 Bakhtiari, who act as guards and supervisors of the road. There is
no fuel in the vicinity. Water in a ravine \ a mile below the pass on the
east.— {Report of a Journey through the Bakhtidri Country to Shushtar-Burton.
