Those hills extend from Shásh, on one side, to beyond Turfan \[on the other\], their extremities reaching into the land of the Kálmák, which quarter none but the Kalmák themselves have seen, or know anything about. I have questioned some of those who have seen something of that country, but I can recall nothing of what they told me, which would be worthy of mention in this book. Moghulistan will \[afterwards\] be described shortly. From Shásh to Turfan is three months' journey. On the west side of Kashghar is another long mountain range, of which the mountains of Moghulistan are an off-shoot \[munsha'ib\]. This range runs from north to south. I travelled on those mountains for six months without coming to their extremity. They also shall be presently described, in the account of Tibet. From these mountains, rivers run from west to east, and to these rivers Kashghar owes its fertility \[ábádáni\]. The whole of the countries of Khotan, Yarkand and Kashghar lie at the base of these mountains. - [Previous: 155.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.1.2) - [Next: 155.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.1.4) - [Up: 155.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.1.3) · Pramāṇa
