Tump

Tump lies in western Makran along the Kech river system, in a valley bounded by dry mountain ranges. The Kech and the Nihing unite farther west to form the Dasht River, which cuts through the coastal hills on its way to the sea. Fields and date plantations occupy the watered parts of the valley, with irrigation drawn from channels and pools along the riverbed. Ancient remains near Tump bear witness to the long settlement of this inland corridor.
