Pakistan is a land of varied and unique landscape.
While high mountain ranges dominate its North,
series of low mountain ranges of Suleman, Pub,
Kirthar and Mekran extend from North to Southwest
and to South in a bone like manner. These low ranges
dominate the plains and deserts to the East and warm
and captivating beaches of the Arabian Sea to the
South. It is, however, Northern Pakistan which is
endowed with most unique geographical feature in the
world. It is here that the three great, lofty and
spectacular mountain ranges, Karakoram, Hindukush
and Himalayas meet. In an area of about 500 sq.km in
width and 350 sq.km in depth, is found the most
dense collection of some of the highest and
precipitous peaks in the world, boasting more than
700 peaks above 6000 meters, and more than 160 peaks
above 7000 meters. |
