  • ... that the ancient fortified city of Bhitargarh served as a node to the strategic trade routes connecting Tibet and eastern India? Source: Seshan, Radhika (2016). Narratives, Routes and Intersections in Pre-Modern Asia. London: Taylor and Francis. pp. 48, 49. ISBN 1-315-40197-5. OCLC 963575191. "Both Bhitargarh and Garh Mendabari were hubs or junction points on strategic routes, with their radials spanning many directions: To the Middle Ganga Valley, to the Middle Brahmaputra Valley, to the Trans-Himalayan region, to the peninsular India, to Southwestern China and toward Laos/Cambodia (Champa or Cochin China). Because Bhitargarh was situated on the main channel of Karatoya - the Talma - people could access Tibet through the Tista in Sikkim, by way of its riverine port of Dhumgarh."

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.
Overall: New enough and long enough (expanded greatly from a stub). The text is OK, seems neutral and has no plagiarism (Earwig is at 7.4%). I also made some copyedits and other minor changes to the article. Hook cited (in an offline source so it's a case of AGF) and interesting, and QPQ has been done. Seems good to go to me.
