Map of Pakistan

Pakistan occupies an area of 881,913 in South Asia. Located at the juncture of the Indian and Eurasian plates, the country is highly prone to earthquakes due to plate tectonics. 

The country can be divided into three major geographic zones as observed on the physical map of the country above. These are the highlands in the north, the plain of the Indus River and the Balochistan Plateau. The country also shares the Thar Desert with India along its eastern border. 

The northern mountain region features some really high peaks of the Karakoram, Hindu Kush, and Himalayan mountain ranges. The world’s second highest peak, Mount K2, is located in Pakistan. The peak has been marked on the map and is also the highest point in the country at 8,611 m or 28,250 ft. Over half the peaks in this northern highland region of Pakistan are above 4,500m.

The Indus River and its tributaries drain a large part of the country. The Indus River rises in southwestern Tibet and drains into the Arabian Sea. The course of the river in Pakistan has been marked on the map.

The Balochistan Plateau is located at the eastern edge of the Iranian Plateau and the region is very dry and sparsely populated. The mountainous areas of the west-central, along the border with Afghanistan, include the Ras Koh, Safed Koh and Toba Kakar ranges.
