An unspecified Sukhram Cave (note 1) or rock shelter is said to be situated at a walking distance from a place called Kathaliya (note 2) in the river valley of the Sundardhunga Ganga / Sundardunga Gad (note 3). SITUATION 1: Sukhram Cave lies on the route of one Sunerdhunga (sic!) trek, where, literally quoted You can do Sukhram cave, Devikund [note 4], Baluni Bugyal and Maiktoli glacier [note 5] trek from kathaliya. kathaliya is the most beautiful place. Lots of water fall there. Maiktoli peak, creem role [sic!], Panwalidwar [?] peak are visible from there. The maximum height you could gain 15000ft in Durgakot glacier near Sukhram Cave. (bhramanti.com/himtrek04.html accessed 2003.07.08). SITUATION 2: The Sundardhunga Glacier is said to consist, literally quoted, of a cluster of small glaciers but very clear and beautiful glacier of the region sprowls at an elevation of 3011 m at the mouth of a moraine which has a special natural beauty (Principal Dr. Trilochan ARYA 1992: 102-103). On he other hand, ARYA (1992) leads into thick fog with explaining, again literally quoted, that the trekking starts at Khati [note 6], the next valley of the Pindar, to the Sundardhunga glacier after the third day trekking up to Khati or after the return trekking from Dwali. The next resting resort is jaitoli [note 7]11 km away from Khati, the last village of this valley [note 8]. There are houses for lodging and boarding, otherwise tents may be used but the track from Jaitoli to udyar 13 km need local guide because no permanent route is not constructed. Besides it, the tents are needed according to the need of the team at Udyar because there is no house or rest house. … Leaving all the belongings at Udyar the trekkers may trek to the glacier … but the return trekking must be done before 11AM as the weather becomes very bad near the glacier and a detailed study can be made by the trekkers of glacier.An unspecified Sukhram Cave (note 1) or rock shelter is said to be situated at a walking distance from a place called Kathaliya (note 2) in the river valley of the Sundardhunga Ganga / Sundardunga Gad (note 3).
