GARDANEH-SHAINI or SHAHINI— Elev. 2,280'.
This pass is crossed by the Senna-Javanrud road between the villages of
Masan and Shaini; the pass is a bare and grassy saddle on a ridge sloping south
east to the spurs running along the south side of the Kolaserah valley. The
ascent from Masan is steep and toilsome, up a stony spur; towards Shaini is
only a short and easy descent to the Shaini valley. Immediately below the
pass, also on the same side, are several springs of water. From the summit, on
a bearing of 153°, is visible the Bilavar valley and far beyond the Parrau
mountain. The mountains round contain abundant grass, but are bare of trees.—
