Chandra-Bhaga Valley Great Mountain Mass
Standing like a huge fort, this mountain mass contains high peaks, valleys, snow-fed streams, glaciers and ice fields. Three important rivers -- Chandra, Bhaga and Yunam -- rise from near the Baralacha Pass. This landmass is sparsely populated. Settlements are few, though graziers often ascend to the high alpine pastures in summer with their animals. Lingti Plains The Lingti plains are largely uncultivated and uninhabited. In summer, a good growth of grass covers the slopes, which are grazed by the stock of migratory graziers. |
