Comments on the environment: Left bank of the Nubra. 2 rocky spurs host a lake in their centre. The spurs are located in a marshy (pasture) and sandy plain. To the west, the Nubra River borders the site. Perfect place to stop (grass, water, flat). Several remains of constructions (probable ancient mani wall, probable watchtower at the top of the spur as well as several constructions at the northern end of the site). Various paths cross the site. Lake | modern building | heap of stones.
