The Golas, or custom-houses, are Ilam, Majhuya, Bilasi, Tangting, Huchi-Mechi, Dimali, and Satang, all in the territory formerly belonging to the Sikim Raja. The Gorkhalese have no connection with Thibet in that quarter, because the route is still in possession of the Sikim Raja. Chayenpur, however, has a considerable trade with Thibet by that part of the country which is near the Arun. Hatiya on the Arun, and Alangchang on the Tambar, are at present the marts established for this commerce. Formerly it was carried on at Pokang in the middle between the two rivers. People can pass to the two former all the year; the trade at Pokang was confined to summer. The goods imported at these places from Thibet are salt carried on sheep, gold, silver, musk, and musk-deer skins, the tails called Chaungris, blankets, borax, Chinese silks, and medicinal herbs. The goods sent from Chayenpur are rice, wheat, maruya, (Cynosurus corocanus,) uya, a grain, oil, butter, iron, copper, cotton cloths, broadcloth, catechu, myrobalans, (harra bahara,) planks of the Dhupi, pepper, and spices, indigo, tobacco, hides, otters’ fur, sugar-candy, and extract of sugar-cane, occasionally some pearls. The route from Vijaypur to Pokang is said to be as follows in days journeys: 1. To Mulghat on the Tambar river. The road hilly, but not mountainous. Much cultivation. No river of note. 2. To Dhankuta, or Dhankot. The same kind of country. Cross the Tambar. 3. To Ukhaliya. Country more hilly, and less cultivated. Several small rivers, especially the Mangmay. 4. To Jaresang, a town in a plain well cultivated country. 5. To the Leghuya river, where there is a fine valley. The road passes over low hills. 6. To Dobhang. The road hilly, but in many parts cultivated. Cross the Piluya river below Chayenpur Fort. Dobhang is situated on the Soyeya river, near where it joins the Arun. 7. To Tamlingtar, a smooth road fit for horses. It stands between the Soyeya and the Arun, which are about 1⅔ coses distant from each other. This is the largest place in the district, and is said to be about the size of Kirtipur, in the valley of Nepal, which, I suppose, may contain 6000 people; but Tamlingtar is not built with brick, as is the case with Kirtipur. The plain round it is very considerable, extending twelve coses north and south, and four coses east and west. The plain is bounded on the west by the Arun, and is not quite so cool as Kathmandu, nor is it fully cleared. 8. To Tamling, a smooth road fit for horses. Tamling is about three coses east from the Arun. 9. To Segeya, a smooth road fit for horses. The country is well cultivated. Segeya is a day’s journey east from the Arun. 10. To Lum, a good road. 11. To Jupha, a very hilly road with steep ascents and descents, but much cultivation. 12. To Jholangghat, on the Arun, where there is a bridge suspended by rattans.
