Swan Cut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swan Cut is a wonderful physical phenomenon of nature near Islamabad, Pakistan. A long arm of Himalayan Range is coming out toward the open areas and a small river, the Swaan River that has nominal flow whole of the year cuts it into two. How this could be possible? How water rose on high hill range and crossed and gradually cut it into two?

The river cut it because the river is flowing earlier than the formation of this arm of Himalayas. Gradually, in millions of years, the mountain arose and gradually the river cut it and the rise cannot be more than a centimetre a year and that rise is easy for the river to deal.

It is a very big cut but not as huge as is that of Kali Gandaki Gorge.
