Gantang Pass, in 31° 38' N. lat. and 78° 47' E. long., leads eastward from Kunawar, in Bashahr, into the Chinese territory. Its height is 18,295 feet above the sea, and it is overhung by a peak of its own name, nearly 3000 feet loftier. The place is unspeakably desolate and rugged, and, being devoid of fuel, it is but little frequented.
