The Panjab North-West Frontier Province and Kashmir

1930

To the west of the Indus they include those spurs of the Hindu Kush which run into Chitral and Dir the Buner and Swat hills the Safed Koh the Waziristan hills the Sulimân range and the low hills in the trans-Indus districts of the North West Frontier Province. [...] At the south of the Kurram valley the frontier sweeps round to the west leaving in the British sphere the valley of the Tochi. [...] The Kumann section lies mainly in the United Provinces but it includes the sources of the Jamna and contains the chain in the Panjib which is at once the southern watershed of the Sutlej and the great divide between the two river systems of Northern India the Gangetic draining into the Bay of Bengal and the Indus carrying the enormous discharge of the north-west Himalaya the Murtagh-Karakoram [...] The chief from north to south are the 'Whoa the Sangarh the Khair the Kaha the Chiechar and the Sirf called from the torrents which flow through them to the plains. [...] The Kashmir valley and the valleys which drain into the Jhelam from the north the Liddar the Lolab the Sind and the Kagan glen display a wealth of beauty unequalled elsewhere.
