Kohistan is a northern geographic mountainous region of Pakistan. This region is where the Hindukush, Karakuram and Himalayan Mountain systems meet and serve as a natural boundary for environmental regions. The uniqueness of these mountain systems also results in rich flora and fauna and therefore gives home to unique species such as the snow leopard. The Kohistani people are traditionally herders of goats and sheep but also tend a few fields in the fertile valleys.
