Sakesar. 



Sakesar mountain rises above everything else in the Salt Range or 

 adjacent country. It has somewhat of a crescent- 

 shape in plan^ the convex side being turned to- 

 wards the south ; a spur to the north-east connects it with the most lofty 

 portion of the anticlinal lying in that direction; and high ground, 

 but gradually declining, stretches away as a narrow ridge to the north- 

 west. From the higher points the stony ridges of the nummulitic 

 limestone country and the Son plain with its salt-lake are overlooked to 

 the eastward ; more abruptly broken country to the south ; the long 

 valley, between nearly parallel chains of hills, called the Bazar Wan, to 

 the westward ; and to the north long undulating slopes, broken here and 

 there by crags, lead the eye downwards to the great Potwar plateau.
