The site was identified as important in 2007 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Himalayan Snowcock Tetraogallus himalayensis	LC	resident	2003-2007	5 individuals	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2007) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Himalayan Snowcock Tetraogallus himalayensis	20	5	individuals	25	very unfavourable
Cinereous Vulture Aegypius monachus	10	7	individuals	70	near favourable
