The mountain ranges which enter Mansehra district from Kashmir are the offshoots of the great Himalayan system.
In Kaghan valley the mountain system is the highest of the area including the Babusar top. This range flanks the right bank of the Kunhar,
contains a peak Malika Parbat of over 17,000 feet 19, the highest in the district. On the mountains the grasslands are also found where
Gujars and other nomads migrate during summer for grazing their sheep, goats and other animals. On the northern side there are mountains
which are the extension of the same mountain system as that of Kaghan mountains. This range diverges from the eastern side at
Musa-ka-Musalla a peak 13,378 feet 20 , which skirt the northern end of the Bhogarmang and Konsh valleys, and sends down a spur to divide
the two. Here also, like Kaghan, thick forests are found especially on the higher slopes. Due to extensive exploitation only in unapproachable
areas the thick forests are found.
