and 75 degrees East. The country borders Iran on the west, India

Himalayas, the Karakorams and the Hindukush form Pakistan’s
northern highlands of North West Frontier Province and the
Northern Area. Punjab province is a flat, alluvial plain with five
major rivers dominating the upper region eventually joining the
Indus River flowing south to the Arabian Sea. Sindh is bounded on
the east by the Thar Desert and the Rann of Kutch and on the west
by the Kirthar range and the Balochistan Plateau is an arid
tableland, encircled by dry
mountains.
