Satrundi-Sach pass, Chamba, ca.1910

"Showing pass over hills, India. Satrundi and Sanch [Sach] Pass". Landscape view of mountains rising steeply up before disappearing into cloud cover. Thick forest covers the lower slope and the pass runs between two peaks. The Satrundi-Sach Pass (14,500 ft.) links the Pangi valley to the Chamba valley and is the route to Killar village near the border to Jammu and Kashmir. Medico-evangelistic work was undertaken amongst the Himalayan slopes and the missionary parties would endure extreme conditions to spread the Christian gospels and provide medical treatments. ❧ Chamba was an independent princely state and came under British influence in 1848. It now forms part of Himachal Pradesh.
