Karakorum Range of Mountains :

Karakoram is a Turkic term meaning black gravel. The name was first applied by local traders to the Karakoram Pass.

Karakorum is also a Sub Range of Hindu Kush Mountain that is found in Pakistan in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Northern Area of Gilgit and Baltistan. The Karakoram is in one of the world's most geologically active areas, at the boundary between two colliding continents of Europe and Asia and Found on Boundary of Pakistan Durand line with Afghanistan and in North from these Mountain Ranges this Boundary starts and finished near Arabia Sea.







K2 in Karakorum

A significant part, 28-50% of the Karakoram Range is glaciated, compared to the Himalaya (8-12%) and Alps (2.2%).Mountain glaciers may serve as an indicator of climate change, advancing and receding with long-term changes in temperature and precipitation.[9] Karakoram glaciers are mostly stagnating or enlarging, because, unlike in the Himalayas, many Karakoram glaciers are covered in a layer of rubble which insulates the ice from the warmth of the sun. Where there is no such insulation, the rate of retreat is high.

The Karakoram, in simplified Chinese: 喀喇昆仑山脉; traditional Chinese: 喀喇崑崙山脈; pinyin: Kālǎkūnlún Shānmài; , Kārākōram; Balti: ཁརན ཨ ཀུརམ Kharan-a-Kuram Uyghur: كاراكورم‎), is a large mountain range spanning the borders between Pakistan, India and China, located in the regions of Gilgit–Baltistan (Pakistan), Ladakh (India), and Xinjiang region (China).

As subrange of the Hindu Kush Himalayan Range, it is one of the Greater Ranges of Asia. The Karakoram is home to the highest concentration of peaks over 8000m in height to be found anywhere on earth, including K2, the second highest peak in the world 8,611 m (28,251 ft).






Nanga Parbat

The range is about 500 km (311 mi) in length, and is the most heavily glaciated part of the world outside the polar regions. The Siachen Glacier at 76 kilometres (47 mi) and the Biafo Glacier at 63 kilometres (39 mi) rank as the world's second and third longest glaciers outside the polar regions.

The Karakoram is bounded on the northeast by the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, and on the north by the Pamir Mountains. The southern boundary of the Karakoram is formed, west to east, by the Gilgit, Indus, and Shyok Rivers, which separate the range from the northwestern end of the Himalaya range proper as these rivers converge southwestward towards the plains of Pakistan.







Broad Peak

The Tashkurghan National Nature Reserve and the Pamir Wetlands National Nature Reserve in the Karalorun and Pamir mountains have been nominated for inclusion in UNESCO in 2010 by the National Commission of the People's Republic of China for UNESCO and has tentatively been added to the list.

As Islam Spread from Afghanistan to India after Afghanis crossed these Mountains to Bring Islam to India they are called as a Result Hindu Kush or Eliminator of Hindus in Hindi language although it also contains Solomon Range and his Takht ( Kings Seat ) Attributed to Hazrat Solomon PBUH the Prophet of Jews of King Solomon and Queen Sheba fame.






The Hindu Kush , also known as Pāriyātra Parvata , Caucasus Indicus, or Paropamisadae , is an 800 km (500 mi) long mountain range that stretches between central Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. It is a subrange of the Himalayan range.

Hindu Kush Mountains 

The Hindu Kush system stretches about 966 kilometres (600 mi) laterally West to East , but its median north-south measurement is about 240 kilometres (150 mi).

Ranges of Hindu Kush 

Only about 600 kilometers (370 mi) out of the 966 kilometers (600 mi) Total Hindu Kush system is called the Proper Hindu Kush mountains. The rest of the 366 KM of Hindu Kush System consists of numerous smaller mountain ranges including :

1. Karkorum Range ( Pakistan).
2. Soloman Range ( Pakistan).
3. Pamir Range( Pamir Range)
4. Koh-e Baba Range 
5. Salang.Range 
6. Koh-e Paghman.Range 
7. Siah Koh Range  (also called the eastern Tor Ghar )
8. Koh-e Khwaja Mohammad Range 
9. Selseleh-e Band-e Turkestan.Range 
10. Safēd Kōh – eastern / The Spin Ghar Range 
11. Safid Koh -western  Range / Paropamise by western scholars, though that name has been slowly falling out of use over the last few decades its Parts are (Malmand, Chalap Dalan, Siah Band and Doshakh)

The mountains of the Hindu Kush system diminish in height as they stretch westward towards Kabul Toward the middle, near Kabul, they extend from 4,500 to 6,000 meters (14,800 to 19,700 ft); in the west, they attain heights of 3,500 to 4,000 meters (11,500 to 13,100 ft).The average altitude of the Hindu Kush is 4,500 meters (14,800 feet).

Rivers that flow from the mountain system include:

Helmand River,
Hari River
Kabul River( Peshawar)
Watershed from the Sistan Basin.

Numerous high passes ("kotal") transect the mountains, forming a strategically important network for the transit of caravans.

Hindu Kush mountain passes are:

1. Khyber Pass ( Landi Kotal) Pakistan (1,027 m).


2. Salang Pass (Kotal-e Salang) Afghanistan (3,878 m); it links Kabul and points south of it to northern Afghanistan. The completion of a tunnel within this pass in 1964 reduced travel time between Kabul and the north to a few hours. The Salang tunnel at 3,363 m and the extensive network of galleries on the approach roads were constructed with Soviet financial and technological assistance and involved drilling 1.7 miles through the heart of the Hindu Kush.

3. Tang-e Gharu Pass Afghanistan , superseded in 1960 by a road constructed within the Kabul River's most spectacular gorge, the This remarkable engineering feat reduced travel time between Kabul and the Pakistan border from two days to a few hours.


4- Kotal-e Shibar Afghanistan Previously access to the north through this Kotal/Pass (3,260 m) took three days.


5- Kotal-e Lataband Afghanistan (2,499 m) east of Kabul.

6- Shotorgardan (3,720 m), linking Logar and Paktiya provinces.

7- Bazarak (2,713 m), leading into Mazari Sharif.


8- Khawak Pass (4,370 m) in the Panjsher Valley.

9- Anjuman Pass (3,858 m) Panjsher Valley giving entrance to the north.

10- The Hajigak (2,713 m)

11- Unai (3,350 m) lead into the eastern Hazarajat and Bamyan Valley.

7000 Meter Plus Mountains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa:

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 31 Mountains exists above 7,000 Meters or 7KM vertically , 

Important for Mountaineering and are situated vertically from Sea level with Lowest one about 7,020 Meters and the Highest one called Trichmir Main vertically About 7,708 Meters in Highest Situated in World top 10 Highest Mountains of world and also Visible from Commercial Aircraft as Far as Islamabad and while Landing .






Trich Mir in Chitral

it is a sub range of the Hindu Kush Himalayan range. It divides the valley of the Amu Darya (the ancient Oxus) in Afghanistan to the north from the Indus River valley to the south. The highest point in the Hindu Kush is Tirich Mir (7,708 m or 25,289 ft) in Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

To the east the Hindu Kush buttresses the Pamir range Situated inside of Pakistan near the point where the borders of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, after which it runs southwest through Pakistan and into Afghanistan, finally merging into minor ranges in western Afghanistan. The mountain range separates Central Asia from South Asia .

Giglit Baltistan and Chitral Part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Forms this Pamir Range although some of it is In Afghanistan and Tajikistan.




The Eastern Hindu Kush range, also known as Pamirs is also Known as “ Roof Top of the World “ , mostly located in northern Pakistan and the Nuristan and Badakhshan provinces of Afghanistan . 

In Pakistan’s Chitral District of Khyber Paktunkhwa is home to Tirich Mir, Noshaq, and Istoro Nal, the highest peaks in the Hindu Kush. The range also extends into Ghizar, Yasin Valley, and Ishkoman in Pakistan's Northern Areas.

Trich Mir in Pamir


Chitral is considered to be the pinnacle of the Hindu Kush region. The highest peaks, as well as countless passes and massive glaciers, are located in this region. The Chiantar, Kurambar, and Terich glaciers are amongst the most extensive in the Hindu Kush and the melt water from these glaciers form the Kunar River, which eventually flows south into Afghanistan and joins the Bashgal, Panjsher, and eventually the much smaller Kabul River.


Mountain Passes which join Afghanistan to Chitral, Pakistan, include the Baroghil (3,798 m) and the Kachin (5,639 m), which also cross from the Wakhan corridor a small Few KM Area with 4 time zones of 4 countries ie Pakistan , Afghanistan , China and Tajikistan .


There are a number of other important passes in Afghanistan China and Pakistan in Pamirs , it The Wakhjir Pass (4,923 m), proceeds from the Wakhan Corridor into Xinjiang, China, and into Northern Areas of Pakistan.


Passes which join Afghanistan to Chitral, Pakistan, include the Baroghil (3,798 m) and the Kachin (5,639 m), which also cross from the Wakhan.


Pamir Valley or the Chitral Valleys is Most beautiful and also best place to Visit in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and is journey of Life Time to See the breathtaking beauty and Nature at its best among the Pamir Ranger of mountains of Hindu Kush in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.


The Kilash Tribe and Chitralis and Gilgit,s Live here who are here who celebrate their Festivals and also are Pagan Tribe who have their own customs and are slowly Losing their culture and being Assimilating in Islamic culture .


Pamirs forms the Starting Point of Durand Line in North , that Divides the Afghanistan Tajikistan and Pakistan and it is also called the “ Roof Top of the world “, 

Lord Curzon the Head of East india Company Personally came and visited this Places and he was one who Invented Durand line , border between Afghanistan and India later Adopted as Pakistan Border with Afghanistan .


Pamir valley Is situated here in Gilgit and Chitral Pakhtunkhwa and starts from Wahkhan corridor that belongs to 4 countries Afghanistan , Pakistan , Tajikistan and China.

The Wakhan Corridor (alternatively Vakhan Corridor, or Wakhan) is the narrow strip of territory in northeastern Afghanistan that extends to China and separates Tajikistan from Pakistan. The corridor, wedged between the Pamirs to the north and the Hindu Kush to the south, is about 350 km (220 mi) long and 13–65 kilometres (8.1–40.4 mi) wide.


Inside the Wakhan Corridor is a high mountain valley from which the Panj and Pamir Rivers emerge and form the Amu Darya. 

A trade route through the valley has been used by travelers going to and from East, South and Central Asia since antiquity. Wakhan Corridor can also refer to the valley and the trade route. 

The closure of the Afghan-Chinese border crossing at the Wakhjir Pass at the east end of the Wakhan Corridor, however, has turned the valley into a cul de sac inhabited by nomads.

The corridor was a political creation of the Great Game. On the corridor's north side, agreements between Britain and Imperial Russia in 1873 and between Britain and Afghanistan in 1893 effectively split the historic region of Wakhan by making the Panj and Pamir Rivers the border between Afghanistan and the Russian Empire. On its south side, the Durand Line agreement of 1893 marked the boundary between British India and Afghanistan. 

This left a narrow strip of land as a buffer between the two empires, which became known as the Wakhan Corridor in the 20th century. As of 2010, the Wakhan Corridor had 12,000 inhabitants.

 The northern part of the Wakhan is also referred to as the Afghan Pamir which is in Afghanistan .

The Wakhan Corridor forms the panhandle of Afghanistan's Badakhshan Province. At its western entrance near the Afghan town of Ishkashim, the corridor is 18 km (11 mi) wide.[1] The western third of the corridor varies from 13–30 km (8.1–18.6 mi) in width and widens to 65 km (40 mi) in the central Wakhan. At its eastern end, the corridor forks into two prongs that wrap around a salient of Chinese territory, forming the two countries' 92 km (57 mi) boundary. 

The Wakhjir Pass, on the southeastern prong is about 300 km (190 mi) from Ishkashim.

The easternmost point of the northeastern prong is about 350 km (220 mi) from Ishkashim. On the Chinese side of the border is Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The northern border is formed by the Pamir River and Lake Zorkul in the west and the high peaks of the Pamir Mountains in the east. To the north is Tajikistan's Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous region.

In the south, the corridor is bounded by the high mountains of the Hindu Kush and Karakoram. The Broghol and Irshad Passes along the southern flank offer access, respectively, to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan on Pakistan's side of the border. The Dilisang Pass is disused.

The corridor is higher in the east (the Wakjir Pass is 4,923 m (16,152 ft) in elevation) and descends to about 3,037 m (9,964 ft) at Ishkashim.

The Wakhjir River emerges from an ice cave on the Afghan side of the Wakhjir Pass and flows west, joining the Bozai Darya near the village of Bozai Gumbaz and forms the Wakhan River. The Wakhan River then joins the Pamir River near Kala-i-Panj to form the Panj River, which then flows out of the Wakhan Corridor at Ishkashim.

Chinese descriptions of the Wakhan Corridor include the Taghdumbash Pamir, a high mountain valley east of the Wakhjir Pass that is about 100 km (62 mi) long.[7][8] This valley, through which the Tashkurgan River flows, is generally about 3–5 km (1.9–3.1 mi) wide and less than 1 km (0.62 mi) at its narrowest point.

TAJ HOTEL 100 YEARS OLD IN NOWSHERA PAKHTUNKHWA

 

Hundreds and thousands of People Pass the GT Road which is actually , Sher shah Suri Yousafzai Road from Kabul to India and then Bangladesh to Arabian Sea . Right at Nowshera at Shobra Chowk is the Taj Building which not many people Know has amazing history that is not known by Proud People of Pakhtunkhwa .

Nowshera (known locally as Nowkhaar or Nowshaar) is a district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. The city of Nowshera is the capital of the district. Nowshera city is located 27 miles east of Peshawar. The district was part of the Peshawar Division until the administrative reforms of 2000 by the Government of Pakistan. The district is administratively divided into two tehsils (subdivisions); Nowshera and Pabbi.

The famous Grand Trunk Road (GT Road) Also known as Sher Shah Suri Yousafzai Road , runs through the district. Nowshera cantonment is located on the bank of Kabul River. The Grand Trunk Road (G.T. Road) passes right through the cantonment.

 The city still has post British Raj Military  barracks built in 1852-60.

While you Pass the building you don't realises the history and grandeur it once had , at the time of British Raj .  Taj Khan was one of the contractor of British Army and he was not an ordinary Contractor he used to supply the food and water and as well as Uniforms and other stuff to the British Army . As he was contractor of  Grand scale , he was awarded a title of ''' Khan Bahudur''' by the British . He was actually a Millionaire by Current Standards of Today and was well respected all over indian sub continent and also in Pakhtunkhwa . But he was very fond of horse Racing and used to visit Delhi and stay at house for Horse Racing , and he owned what is currently national Defence college of indian Army at Delhi

Khan Bahudur Taj Khan was the son of Khan Bahudur Abdul Hameed Khan  Badrishi Village of Nowshera , and was very near to British and his son made this building in the Year 1920 and he used a Special mixture of Architecture that was special , it was Oriental Local as well Roman and Gothic with ''''Jhoraka'''' Style of Windows , Arches and Wood work , that is treat to the Eyes .

This Building situated on Sher Shah Suri Road and right Next to Nowshera Cantonment that was in that Time at front of War on Pashtuns , the Oldest CMH in Pakistan is in Nowshera established in Year 1880  is right Next to it and also the Officer messes of British officers like , the Armoured and Infantry Units and also '''''Artillery'''' are all in Nowshera Cantonment and this area was used as Supply and other training Facilities for the british Army .

Badrishi villge is actually  is not a 1000 years old not even 150 really..Badrashi was settled by ancestors who were Afghan Ghiljis / Khlijis settlers who came as a part of the Afghan army to fight Sikhs in 1830,s and were then left behind.

Most afghan tribes settled in between the Khattak area in hills and Durrani/Yousafzai belt of Par Nowshera...they were at loggerheads hence the settlers got the land in between. The original Badrashi was near Manki Sharif (actually The Khan Bahudur,s  great great grand father Malik Din Khan is buried there)...as time passed the river bed of the river Kabul shifted leaving the fertile land of Nowshera Cantonment and Badrashi for the taking so people moved from the hills to the plain which is now Badrashi and Nowshera Cantonment...

it was agricultural land of Badrishi so Ghliji Afghan  families moved to Badrashi..this was in the 1880s (oldest mosque in badrashi is from then) following this the British came in 1880,s so made a new cantonment/city as their forward base. 

Original badrashi inhabitants are Akakhels, Sulemankhel and EssaKhel i.e. Ghalji tribesmen from the Afghan army - it was later settled by Mians of Bahadur baba as the locals gave them land in, sehra...Bahadur baba was kaka seb Hazrat Kasrat Guls father. Now badrashi is a mixture of all races and peoples due to its rapid expansion...
