Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 22/06/2016

»The cave in which the Murang people had the last year sheltered themselves, had disappeared, and instead of it we beheld the fragments of fallen peaks, the ruinous proofs of the vast power of the avalanche« (HERBERT 1825: 366). SITUATION: HERBERT (1825 map) indicates »Tomba Wodar« (Tomba Cave) in the Tomba nadi = glen, a tributary from the east (left) to the »Setlej or Satúdrá« (Sutlej river).
