Indus River In Pakistan

The Indus: The creation of the embryonic Indus river system, the main source of surface water in South Asia, most likely began 50 million years ago when the Indian plate, Gondwanaland, first collided with Eurasia, Angaraland and formed the Himalayan Mountains in the Mesozoic era. The Indus River system comprises of three major reservoirs, 16 Barrages, 2 head-works, 2 Siphons across major rivers 12 inter link canals, 44 canal systems(23 in Punjab, 14 in Sindh, 5 in Khyber P and 2 in Balochstan) and more than 107000 water courses. The aggregate length of the canals is about 56073 km. It originates from singikahad near Manshwar Lake. Important engineering’s Tarbela Dam and Gazi Brotha Hydro Power Project. 
Length Of Indus River – 2700 Km.
Catchments area – 404220 Km.
Annual Average flow – 48 MAF.   

Chenab River In Pakistan

The Chanab river originates in the Kulu and Kangra districts of the Himachal pardesh, provinces of India. The two chief Streams of Chenab—the Chandr and the Bangr—rise elevation of 16000 feet. These join at Tandi in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Feed by inumerable tributaries on the long journey from its headwaters, the river gains immense power region above Kashmir. In enters Pakistan through Sialkot near Diawara Village.

The chenab flows through the alluvial plains of the Punjab province. It is then joined by the Jehlum Riverat at Trimmu, 64 km downstrons of Trimmu, the river Ravi joins it. The Satluj joins Chenab upstream of Punjnad and finally at above 64 km below Punjnad it meets of river Sindh at Mithankot. The river Chenab has Marala, Khanki, Punjnad, Trimmu and Qadirabed Barrage and Marala – Ravi link Canal. India has constructed Salal Dam in Jammu about 40 miles upstream of Marala Barrages.   

Sutlej River In Pakistan

River Sutlej longest of the rivers that give Punjab (meaning “Fiver River”) originates in western Tibet in the Kailas mountain ranges. Flowing Northwest and West – South West through Himalayan gorges, it crosses Himachal Pardesh state (India) and enters the Punjab plains in Hoshiarpur district, Punjab state.

Continuing Southwest in a broad channel, it relieves the Beas River and from 105 km Indo-Pak border before entering Pakistan and joining the chenab river west of Bahawal Pur.   

Jhelum River Picture

The Jhelum is a large eastern tributary of the Indus. It rises from a deep spring of Vernag, in the Indian-held Jammu and Kashmir state. The river moves North-West ward from the Northern slope of the Pir Panjab range to Wular Lake. At Mazaffarabad, the Jhelum joins the Kishanganga river and then bends Southward forming part or the border between Azad Kashmir and Khyber Pakhtunkhawa. Near Mangla, it breaks through the Siwalik range into broad alluvial plains. At Jhelum town the river turns South-West ward to Khushab and then bends Southwards to join the Chenab river.
Total length – 725 km
Length in Pakistan – 379 miles
Catchment Area – 21359 miles
Annual Average flow – 11.85 MAF
The Mangla Dam is one of the biggest dams of Pakistan built on Jhehlum river and its reservoir irrigates about 3,000,000 acres of land and has an installed capacity of 300 MW of electricity.   

Ravi River In Pakistan

The Ravi is the smallest of the five main eastern tributaries of Indus. It rises in the Himalauans in Himachal Pardesh (India) and flows west – Northwest past Chamba, turning Southwest at the boundary of Jammu and Kashmir. It flows past Lahore and turns west near kamalia, emplying into the chenab River South of Ahmadpur sial after a course of about 764 km.
Length in Pakistan – 675 km
Important Engneerings – Balloki and Sindh nai head works.
Catchment Area – 25185 km
Amnual Average flow 1.47 MAF.

K2 Picture

K2 Mountain is located in the Karakorum Range. This is Pakistan’s first and the world’s second highest peak. It reaches 28250 ft (8,611 meters), and lies partly in china and partly in the Pakistani-administered region of Kashmir. In 1954 the Italians Achille Comagnoni and Line Lacedell become the first climbers to reach its summit. The glacier and snow-covered mountain rises from its base at about 15000 ft on the Godwin Austen Glacier, a tributary of the Baltoro Glacier. The first woman who reached the summit was Wanda Rutkiewicz of Poland, in 1986.

Nanga Parbat Picture

Nanga Parbat is 8,126 meters high and is one of the most challenging mountains in the world to climb. Commonly known as the killer mountain, Nanga Parbat is second tallest in Pakistan and 9th highest peak in the world. Situated in the Himalayan Range, Nanga Parbat means naked mountain. Though associated with tragedies, it is not true that the mountain has not been scaled. Many mountaineers lost their life on their way to the summit at Nanga Parbat. It was in 1953 that the Nanga Parbat was conquered by Herman Buhl.

Gasherbrum I Photo

Gasherbrum is a remote group of high peaks in the karakoram, located at the northeast end of the 36-mile Baltoro. There are six Gasherbrum peaks. Gasherbrum is the 11th highest peak in the world and is the 3rd highest peak in Pakistan with a height of 8080 meters. It is also known as K5 and “Hidden Peak”. It is also one of those peaks with least deaths, but this peak is only tried by experienced mountainers.

Broad Peak Picture

Broad Peak, the 12th highest mountain in the world at 8051 meters, is located in the Karakoram Range in Northeastern Pakistan. From the first ascent in 1957 to August 2003, Broad Peak was climbed 225 times and had 18 deaths. If the snow continue to melt due to global warming, Broad Peak central would certainly qualify as the 15th 8000 meters peak. Another issue connected to global warming is the fact that the snow on the true summit is the melting and four summits may overtake it in height.

Gasherbrum II Picture

Gasherbrum II is the 5th highest peak of Pakistan, and the thirteenth highest peak in the world. It is generally considered one of the easiest 8000 meters peaks in the world, but the ascent of this peak should not be taken too easy. It was first climbed on July 8, 1956 by Fritz Moravec, Josef Larch and Hans Willen part of an Austrian expedition. Its total estimated hight is 8035 meters.

Gasherbrum III Photos

Gasherbrum III is located far away into the wilderness and for this reason, it only has been climbed twice. Even if the peak is one of the highest in the world at 7952 meters usually ranked as number 15th, very few climbers have it as a goal. It was for a long time the highest unclimbed peak in the world. The slightly higher Gasherbrums 1 and-2 are 8000ers, and Gasherbrum-3 is much more impressive than its closest neighbours. It is situated between Gasherbrum II and IV in a sub-range of the Karakoram.

Gasherbrum IV Picture

Gasherbrum: It is the 17th highest mountain on the Earth and the 7th highest in Pakistan. The peak is 7925 meters high and it is an extremely technical climb. Its sheer rock faces are relentless and the regional weather of Gasherbrum 4 is very unstable. The first ascent was made in 1958 by strong Italian team led by legendary climber Riccardo Cassin.

Distaghil Sar Photos

Distaghil Sar is the 8th highest mountain in pakistan with the height of 7885 meters. It is located in a remote icy wilderness in the northern reaches of Pakistan (Karakoram ranges). Its first successful climber was G. starker (1960). Its high glacier-clad summit ridge is topped with three sharp peaks. The eastern summit was first climbed in 1980 by a polish expedition over the east face, and was reascended in 1983.

Kunyang Chhish Picture

Kunyang Chhish: At 7852 meters high, Kunyang Chhish is the 21st highest mountain in the world, and is the 9th highest mountain in Pakistan. The first ascent of Kunuang Chhish occurred in 1971 by Zawada’s Polish Expedition (Main Peak). Kunyang Chhish Main is also the second highest peak in the Hispar Muztagh. Kunuang Chhish east is difficult to climb from all directions.

Masherbrum Pictures

Masherbrum: It is located in the Gilgit Baltistan of Pakistan and it is also known as K1. Masherbrum is the 22nd highest mountain in the world and 10th highest in Pakistan with a prominence of 7821 meters. It was first reconnoitred in 1856 by Thomas Montgomerie who denoted the mountain as K1 however this name is rarely used in modern days. It is also one of the hardest mountains to climb.
