| Abstract: | Based on geomorphological field work the mapping of former lateral/terminal moraines in the middle segment of the Bhotekoshi
Nadi is quite similar to the geomorphological findings of Heuberger (1956: Fig. 2). The deductive calculation of the equilibrium
line altitudes is oriented on the reconstructed types of former glaciers. Based on the geomorphological findings of this valley
segment the relation of Neoglacial and Late Glacial ice margins of the glaciers of the tributary valleys of the Bhotekoshi
Nadi is not conclusive. A post-late glacial maximum snow-line depression of at least 950 m has not obligatory caused an ice
fill of the Bhotekoshi Nadi below 3200 m.
