The mantle of snow and ice in the Hindu Kush is heaviest at its extreme eastern end in Pakistan, where the Chiantar Glacier is located.1

Additionally, ice accumulation is heavy in the higher sections of the range surrounding Mount Tirich Mir and Saraghrara, as well as in parts of the Hindu Raj. In contrast, glaciation becomes more sporadic toward the west, where mountains reaching 12,000 feet (3,600 metres) are often bare near their summits.1
