8. View to SSW up Chhichi Nullah from pass over Rupal-Chhichi ridge. S/C mylonitic granitoid rocks of the Rupal-Chhichi Shear Zone form most of the western wall; the eastern wall has abundant metasedimentary schists (probable Indian cover). The contact crosses into the western side of the valley just north of the dark and snow-covered ridge in the far distance.
