Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Between Chegaon / Chargaon (note 1) and Wangar / Wangat (note 2) the rocks on both sides [of the -Setlej- = Sutlej River] are worn into many caves [apparently lateral whirlpools], which re-echo the roar of the river with tenfold noise. Compare the cave at –>Wangto / Wangtu.Between Chegaon / Chargaon (note 1) and Wangar / Wangat (note 2) the rocks on both sides [of the -Setlej- = Sutlej River] are worn into many caves [apparently lateral whirlpools], which re-echo the roar of the river with tenfold noise.
