Avalanche destruction in the Chandrabhaga

Chamba district, a village near Tisa. On the way to the Sach Pass.

Chandrabagha, Dorze negotiating a pathless stretch after the avalanche devastation.

Chandrabhaga river flowing through the snout of an avalanche, grey snow with mud and avalanche debris. I was trekking up the Chandrabhaga valley after the terrible avalanches of Spring 1979. It was frightening, both the path (or lack of it) that had to be crossed and being an insignificant puppet amidst such power.
