Omerkot

Umarkot lies in the Indus country of southwestern Punjab, near Rajanpur. The surrounding plain occupies a narrow tract between the river to the east and the Suleiman mountains to the west. Streams descend from the mountains towards the Indus, crossing a landscape that changes from rugged foothills to low alluvial ground. The settlement belongs to a chain of communities along this western edge of the great river valley.
