Sketch contours appear at intervals of 1220 metres (i.e. 4000 feet) and heights above sea level are given for peaks and passes. The main facilities in larger settlements are marked. The map has latitude and longitude lines at intervals of 30’ respectively. Map legend is in English. On the reverse is an index listing separately towns/villages/landmark features/camping grounds/forts, peaks, passes, glaciers, rivers and lakes. Also provided is a conversion chart between metres and feet. Current edition of this map was published in 1990.
