Coaduwar Gaut.
No. XIV. COADUWAR GAUT.
This view represents the Coaduwar Gaut, which is the principal pass leading from the Rohilla district into the interior of the mountainous country of Serinagur. Those romantic and lofty regions never having been explored by European adventurers, any attempt of a stranger to penetrate as far as the city of Serinagur by this route was deemed a hazardous enterprise, if not an absolutely impracticable one. But by a previous arrangement with the Rajah of that capital, the difficulties to it that remained were chiefly occasioned by the surface of the country, which, though truly formidable, were calculated to excite rather than discourage the curiosity of those who take delight in observing nature under every variety of aspect; and more especially in situations where she is so seldom seen, except by those who cannot appreciate her beauties.
This view was taken in April 1789, immediately previous to the author's passing into the mountains.
