Its ridges and have wide intervening plains, dry river beds and water channels.^[1]

The hills acted as a barrier between Orangi and North Nazimabad until a road was built through the hills to connect the two localities in 2009.^[2] Unplanned settlements have been built on the hillsides near central Karachi - the settlements are largely inhabited by Pashtuns, who live in similar geographic conditions in northwest Pakistan.^[3]
