Template:Short description Template:Infobox mountain range The Hindu Raj (Template:Langx, translation: "Hindu rule" in Sanskrit) is a mountain range in northern Pakistan, between the Hindu Kush and the Karakoram ranges.[1] The peaks in the Hindu Raj mountains average between 5,000 and 6,000 metres in height.[2] Its highest peak is Koyo Zom, 6,872 m (22,546 ft).[2]

Etymology

The name Hindu Raj (Script error: No such module "Lang".) means "Hindu rule" in Sanskrit and its descendant languages, such as Hindi-Urdu.[1] The word Hindu, used to describe the inhabitants in the land of the Sindhu (Indus) River, is ultimately derived from the Sanskrit word Sindhu (Script error: No such module "Lang".), which means "a large body of water";[3] the word raj means "rule" in Sanskrit.[4]

Geography

The Hindu Raj mountain range runs between Chitral and Gilgit; behind Darkot,[5] south of the Pamir Mountains and east of the Hindu Kush.[2] Its peaks rise to approximately 22,500 feet.[6] The Hindu Raj mountains run largely parallel to the Hindu Kush mountains, sources disagree whether some peaks, including Buni Zom and Ghamubar Zom are in the Hindu Raj or the Hindu Kush.[7]
