The Kirthar Mountains (Urdu: كوه کھیرتھر; Sindhi: کير ٿر جبل) are a mountain range that mark the boundary between the Pakistani provinces of Balochistan and Sindh,[1] also separating the Iranian plateau from the Indian subcontinent. It comprises much of the Kirthar National Park. The mountain range forms part of the Kirthar-Sulaiman geological province,[2] which stretches from the Arabian Sea coast north to the Sulaiman Mountains in northwest Pakistan. The highest peak of the mountains is Zardak Peak at 7,430 ft (2,260 m).[3]
