The Kundar River is one of the two main rivers in the Zhob District of Balochistan. Both the Kundar River and the Zhob River flow into the Gomal River. Generally, these rivers flow from the southwest towards the northeast.
Where the River Starts
The Kundar River begins in the Toba Kakar mountain range. It starts from the highest point of this range, a few kilometers northeast of a place called Sakir.
Where the River Flows
After starting in the mountains, the Kundar River flows through different areas. It is one of the main waterways that help drain the land in the Zhob District. The river's journey ends when it joins the larger Gomal River.
A Natural Border
For a long part of its journey, the Kundar River forms a natural boundary. It marks the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This makes it an important geographical feature.
Other Streams Nearby
Besides the main Kundar River, there are other smaller rivers or streams in the area. Some of these include the Baskan, Chukhan, Sri Toi, Sawar, and Surab. These smaller streams often join the Kundar River or are part of the same river system.
