Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), a topographically diverse province of Pakistan, is situated in the northwest region of the country. The land of KP is an abode to Hindukush, Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges predominantly in the Northern, North West and Eastern parts of the province. In contrast, southern parts of KP are dominated by central valley plains comprising agricultural land and rangelands. Extreme climate conditions range throughout the province. The northern region of KP experiences extremely cold and snowy winters, with heavy rainfall and pleasant summers, whereas the southern parts of KP experience fairly less severe winters, moderate rainfall and hotter summers. Chitral, the highest district of KP experiences the lowest temperatures in winter; hence many glaciers are found in this district. D.I Khan, the southernmost district of KP, experiences milder winters and therefore is dominated by agricultural and rangelands due to optimum climate conditions for agriculture.
