Pakistan's northern and north-western regions are home to some of the world's highest and most rugged mountain ranges. These ranges are primarily a result of the ongoing collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This immense geological force has uplifted vast expanses of land, creating towering peaks, deep valleys, and extensive glacier systems.
