Comments on the environment: Left bank of the Indus, old fort of Alchi nearby, a few dozen metres after the site in the direction of Lardo, cavities are located under relatively flat terrain. Sort of fitted out caves of about 2m x 3m partially crumbled with sometimes props of stones piled up at the edges of the cavity. Several caves are lined up along the edge of the track. Similar to Sumda Rikpa Bao. Gold mining site and recent electric lines.
