The Chitral Expedition: Sar Lashpur, 1895. Engraving from a photograph supplied by Sir William Lockhart. '...the Shandur Pass...is a plateau about five miles in extent, and perfectly level; upon it are two small lakes, the largest being about two and a half miles long and three quarters of a mile across. There is no outlet to either of these. A little to the west of the plateau is the town of Sar Lashpur, from which the pass is at times named. A stream called the Lashpur flows past, and runs down the valley to Mastuj. Gasht is on this river, where Colonel Kelly with his force attacked the enemy, and, although they were two to one against him, he forced a passage, and reached Mastuj: this relieved Captain Brererton, who had been closely invested for eighteen days. Lashpur, it will be seen from the Illustration, is in a valley, surrounded by high mountains, which, from their elevation, must always have more or less snow upon them'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
