==Geography== [[File:Panoramic View of Village Borki Parachinar Kurram Agency.jpg|thumb|Borki, a village at the border, with [[Mount Sikaram]]'s peak in the background, the highest peak of the [[Spīn Ghar|White Mountains]]]] The border is south of the [[Hindu Kush]], while its eastern end by China is in the [[Karakoram]] range. These are regions of extreme high elevation, hence much of the Durand Line is bounded by mountains. The [[Spīn Ghar]] (''White Mountains'') range is roughly in the middle of the Line. The western part of the Line meanwhile is lower and sparse, consisting of the [[Registan Desert]]. [[File:Kurram Agency of Pakistan from Paktia Border line (19923108).jpg|thumb|A view towards the border in Pakistan, taken in [[Paktia Province]] of Afghanistan]] The highest peak, [[Noshaq]], is located along the border between two countries, while some of the highest peaks in the world, including [[K2]], are a short distance to the east of the Line's end on the Pakistani side. The [[Kunar River]], [[Kabul River]], [[Kurram River]] and [[Gomal River]] all cross the Durand Line. At the very western end of the line is the [[Godzareh Depression]].
