Karoonjhar Mountains - Tharparkar - Sindh

About 450 km from Karachi, Karoonjhar Mountains are located in south-eastern edge of the Tharparkar district in Sindh, Pakistan. The range is approximately 19 kilometers long and reaches a height of 305 meters
They mostly consist of granite rock and are likely an extension of the Aravalli range of India. The Aravalli range belongs to Archaen period and thus one of the oldest rock systems
Karoonjhar area is geographically different from the surrounding desert and is very limited in expanse. The mountain range is around 19 kilometers long and 305 meters high
To the east of the main range lie smaller hills which are covered with sparse vegetation. From these hills originate two perennial springs, Achleshwar and Sardharo, and temporary streams, Bhetiani and Gordhro, which flow during the rainy season
Karoonjhar Dam is being constructed to supply water to the people of Nagarparkar area. In monsoon season, the rain water pours down from the mountain and flows in more than twenty streams
The climate of this mountain range is extreme due to rocky terrain, August and September are only cool months due to monsoon. Karoonjhar has economic significance for the local people of the area, it is rich in deposits and plant medicinal values
These plants include shatavari, okra and wild onion. This mountain is economically so significant that there is a local saying "Karoonjhar yields a hundred kilos of gold regularly
Karoonjhar has been mentioned in many verses of Sindhi and Gujarati poets. Myths and lores of Sadwant & Sharanga, Hothlal Pari (nature's fairy), Odho Jam (Sindhi lore) and Bherio Garori (wolf's ring) are regarded to this range.
In old times, Karoonjhar was also famously known as "Kinro" and many individuals were exiled to the Karoonjhar by monarchs of nearby states
The mountain range has several places of historical importance, like Bhodeser Talao, Alakh Wao (hidden well), Anchlechure, Sardaro, Gao Mukhi, Punraj Gadr, Nani, Chandan gadr, Bhaun jo bheesro, Jharno and Bhaunro
