7 Valley-side fans (300-400 m.a.s.l.)

The track up the valley passes a series of grassy gravel fans on the northern side on the valley. Here, it is easy to walk, set up camp, and find drinking water in streams or springs at the foot of the slope. During bad weather this is not a good place to stay. The fans have formed over thousands of years precisely during periods of bad weather when flooded streams, debris flows and snow avalanches have carried gravel and cobbles down the mountain side.
