Rocks at the Mali Nmai Confluence.
"The rivers flow in narrow steep sided valleys and are mostly tumultuous torrents. One's first impression of the source streams of the Mali and Nmai rivers is that they resemble V-shaped Grooves. The hillsides appear to offer an unbroken descent from the tops down to the water. A nearer acquaintance only slightly modifies the impression for, here and there, are spurs and shoulders forming shelves with less violent slopes than the average. Such positions are utilised by the inhabitants for their villages or cultivation. The villages so sites are often from 600-800 feet above the stream. This description particularly applies to the Nmai Hka and its tributaries. The country forming the Mali Hka and the Chindwin basins is less precipitous and yet in the Western Triangle and in the Hukong Valley where the mountain peaks are of no great height the hillsides are extremely steep."
