Jijial

Jijal lies in Indus Kohistan, a region of steep mountains and narrow valleys along the upper Indus. The river cuts a deep course through the high country, with settlements occupying the slopes and small areas of level ground above it. Indus Kohistani is spoken in Jijal and neighbouring communities along the river. Paths through the valleys connect these settlements, while the surrounding ridges separate them from other mountain communities.
