Geography of Karachi

The British, after gaining control of the region in the 19th century, developed the city into an important port.

All these hills are devoid of vegetation and have wide intervening plains, dry river beds and water channels.

Coastal mangrove forests grow in the brackish waters around the Karachi Harbour, and further southeast towards the expansive Indus River Delta.
