		The Hindukush was known tothe Greeks who called it "Paropamisus", and the name still remains, though today it is applied only to the lower ranges separating Herat from the Russian frontier.
		Well into the nineteenth century the Hindukush was unmapped, unvisited and almost unknown outside the small world of scientists and explorers, and its geographic and political importance was yet to be fully comprehended.
		The Hindukush is a great range some hundred miles long with its main ridges reaching over twenty thousand feet, and subsidiary ridges running off both to the north and the south.

		I also surmised that the Chinese general, apart from the confidence aroused by the successful river crossing, owed his victory mainly to a flanking movement by which his troops gained the heights, And thus successfully turned the fortified line behind which the Tibetans were awaiting them.
		Rope bridges of this kind across the Gilgit river near the debouchure of the Yasin valley were the only permanent means of access to the latter frrrom the south, until the wire suspension bridge near the present fort of was built in recent years.
		At the head of the latter the Irshad pass gives access to the Lupsuk valley already mentioned, and down this Karwan-balasi is gained on the Ab-i-Panja.(30) All three passes are high, close on or over 16,000 feet, but clear of ice and comparatively easy to cross in the summer or early autumn.

		One meaning is “the mountains of India” and another Urdu meaning translates “Hindukush” as “sparkling snows of India.” For the former, “kush” was the soft variant of “kuh” meaning mountain, and for the latter, “kush” meant the quality of the snow.
		The passes over the nearby central Hindukush were relatively low, although like all passes brigands took their toll of caravan baggage.
		Banished from the minds of the British public was the idea of the crest of the Hindukush as a frontier because, under the new Amir after 1880, Afghanistan became many conquered territories brought under the control of a ruthless Abdur Rahman Khan.

		Wakhi farmers are found in the eastern Hindukush and Karakoram of Pakistan, while Balti and Astori people are herders in the eastern Karakoram and western Himalaya.
		One major distinction has to be made between the different yak-breeding areas in northern Pakistan: The western part is dominated by herds where hybridization is not done while in the East, and particularly in Baltistan and the Nanga Parbat region, hybridization is practised.
		As long ago as 1926, a table of hybridization practices in the Gilgit district was compiled after a survey by the colonial administration.

		On the geographic map, appended to "Ashharatsuits", recently published by academician S. Eremyan, the name of the Bulgarians is located exactly at the point where the western ranges of the Imeon mountains meet it snorthern ranges - the Zervansh crest of Pamir.
		In the well known Latin anonymous Chronograph of 345, the name of the ancient Bulgarians is used as a replacement of the old Baktrinians, who inhabited the lands near the Pamir and the Hindukush.
		This is to show that for the compilers of this early historical source the Bulgarians were a part of the peoples inhabiting the region between Persia and Turkestan.
