The Western Mountains Suleiman and Kirthar Hills

1.    The Safed Koh Range follows an East-West direction, and these mountains are called ‘Safed’ because their peaks are usually covered with snow. The Safed Koh Range has the River Kurram running at its south. It also has the Vale of Peshawar – a fertile land.

2.    The Waziristan Hills have the Bannu Valley. Both Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan are important military centers for Pakistan.

3.    Other than major cities like Peshawar and Kohat, the Western Mountains offer little in terms of comfort, and ease of living. The climate is very harsh, and the mountains are mostly bare of vegetation. Due to this, the people are mostly exposed to elements in these places. Life is very difficult, and a nomadic way of life has been observed here.

4.    The Waziristan Hills are also very famous for being terrorist dens as it is very easy for the terrorists to climb these stunted hills, and take cover among the numerous caves.
