Oriental Scenery/Part 4/Plate 22
No. XXII.
BETWEEN TAKA-CA-MUNDA AND SERINAGUR.
In these high situations the traveller encounters no villages; he must carry with him the means of subsistence, or perish. Taka-ca-munda is a solitary resting place; a plain stone building erected near the barren summit of one of the highest mountains, for the accommodation of benighted wanderers, or to afford an occasional shelter from the storms that frequently vex these cloud-enveloped hills.
The road is continued over the mountainous tract represented in this plate; it then descends to the Bunder Nullah, not far from which the traveller is gratified with a sight of the Alucnindra, or Ganges, and of the city of Serinagur.
