Here we found 41 stones with 230 carvings. Among the carvings 209 ibexes, 9 riders, 6 tiger, one snow leopard, 4 horses, and one human figure are found. Below this terrace a small water channel is running towards east. Along this channel on the right side of the main Kharmang road not far from the Deputy Commissioner House two beautiful carved birds were found.
