The terminal moraine of the Jannu glacier can be seen clearly ahead. As the moraine is reached a small bridge provides access across the river to a tiny grassclearing known as Rhampuk Kharka. Views to the north and east gradually open out to include the peaks of Phole which rise majestically above the moraines of the Jannu Glacier. Wonderful Mountain views are visible in all directions and the ice flutings of Wedge Peak and the snowy ramparts of Nepal and Tent Peaks present the ideal backdrop for a colorful sunset.
