In the ancient times the mountains were barriers against  travel and trade because it was very very difficult to cross over these barriers as the mountains remained covered with snow most of the time in a year. Then on the ridges of the mountains,  there the existing depression and narrow passages which have some easy access to cross over the hill due to less quantum of snow were used for the purpose of travel and trade. These narrow passages  are called mountain pass or Jot .
