On Central Asian Tracks 131 -
Roshani village headmen at Saunab - Roshan is located on the northern side of
the Oxus where it bends sharply from flowing north to west - the border between
Afghanistan to the south and Tajikistan to the north - it is north of Shughan
which adjoins it to the south. Stein traveled across the Pamirs to reach the
Oxus further east at the Wakhan corridor and then cut through both Shughan and
Roshan over very high passes in order to see the inhabitants as well as the
terrain.
