The area is mostly mountainous. Elevations range from between 3,280 m (10,760 ft) at the village of Kishmanjah to 4,304 m (14,121 ft) at Karambar Lake in the northeast. The terrain is undulating with mountains, grassy plains, and valleys. It includes almost 3,400 ha of peatlands and lakes. The valley features around 30 freshwater lakes and is surrounded by glaciers and mountains.
