Holidays in Pakistan

The Himalayas and Karakorams are the world’s newest mountains formed as a result of a collision between the Indian geological plate and the Asian plate. The Karakoram Range is about 500 km in length and the most heavily glaciated part of the world outside the polar region. Pakistan has the densest concentration of high mountains in the world with five peaks over 8,000 meters, including K2, the second-highest mountain on Earth.

In the north of Pakistan, there is another great mountain range of the Hindu Kush which is 800 km long and stretches between central Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. The highest point in the Hindu Kush is Tirich Mr (7,708 m) towering above the Chitral Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province. The mountain range separates Central Asia from South Asia.

The Indus River is Pakistan’s lifeline and with its tributaries provide water for the largest irrigation system in the world. The Indus is 3,200 kilometers long and is the third-longest river in Asia. Rising in Tibet, it passes through Ladakh in northern India and enters Pakistan flowing northwestwards. The Indus separates the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges, plunging through some of the world’s deepest gorges as it twists between the mountains until it finally finds an exit south to the plains of Punjab and Sindh.
