An inhabitable, though relatively small cavity of dubious nature (unidentified dimensions). SITUATION: On the way (note 1) from Sum-ghi-el (see: Caves at –>Samgyal, note 2) to Ruk-chu (note 3) report from a place about 6 or 7 km into the plains of Kiung where a couple of rugged ascends brought us to the extensive plain of Kiung [note 4], which about two miles [3 km] in breadth, but considerably longer, forming a valley bounded by low mountains, with sloping sides and flattish summits. We halted in a small cavity, after a march of about four miles [6 or 7 km] over the plain… [on the following day, the march] … continued along the plain … Shortly after reaching Ruk-chu, shepherds' station, near the end of the valley … we halted (MOORCROFT & TREBECK 1841, 1: 224).An inhabitable, though relatively small cavity of dubious nature (unidentified dimensions).
