Ibn Battuta (1304–1368) was a devout Muslim Berber Moroccan scholar, and explorer who widely traveled the medieval world.Over a period of thirty years, Ibn Battuta visited most of the Islamic world and many non-Muslim lands, including Central Asia, Southeast Asia, India and China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Battuta "Another reason for our halt was fear of the snow, for on the road there is a mountain called Hindu kush, which means "Slayer of Indians," because the slave boys and girls who are brought from India die there in large numbers as a result of the extreme cold and the quantity of snow."
