Vincent Smith states that Alexander took his troops across both the Khāwak and the Kaoshān or Kushan Pass.[2] However, according to some scholars, there is really no proof for this.[3] The Khāwak is most probably the pass used by the famous Chinese Buddhist pilgrim monk, Xuanzang, on his return from India to China in the early 7th century.[4][5] In 1333 Ibn Battuta crossed the pass on his journey to India. When dictating his account over twenty years later he remembered spreading felt cloth in front of his camels to prevent them sinking into the snow.[6] It was also crossed by Timur (Tamerlane or Timur the Lame, 1336–1405), and by Captain John Wood on his return journey to the sources of the Oxus in the mid-19th century. It was the easternmost pass leading from the Kabul Valley into northern Afghanistan, and the most popular pass of this region.[7] This pass, so important for the early history of Afghanistan, is now for the most part bypassed by the paved road that runs through the Salang tunnel under the Salang Pass, completed by the Soviets in 1964, at a height of about {{convert|3400|m|abbr=on}}. It links Charikar and Kabul with Kunduz, Khulm, Mazari Sharif and Termez. Footnotes1. ^Hill (2009), pp. 560, 563. 2. ^Smith (1914), p.
