It forms the western section of the Hindu Kush Himalayan Region (HKH). It divides the valley of the Amu Darya (the ancient Oxus) to the north from the Indus River valley to the south . </P> <P> The Hindu Kush range has numerous high snow - capped peaks, with the highest point in the Hindu Kush being Tirich Mir or Terichmir at 7,708 metres (25,289 ft) in the Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan . To the north, near its northeastern end, the Hindu Kush buttresses the Pamir Mountains near the point where the borders of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, after which it runs southwest through Pakistan and into Afghanistan near their border . The eastern end of the Hindu Kush in the north merges with the Karakoram Range . Towards its southern end, it connects with the Spin Ghar Range near the Kabul River . </P> <P> According to Gnoli, "if we compare the first chapter of the Vidēvdād with the passages of geographical interest that we come across mainly in the great (Zoroastrian) yašts, we can conclude that the geographical area of Avesta was dominated by the Hindu Kush range at the center, the western boundary being marked by the districts of Margiana, Areia, and Drangiana, the eastern one by the Indo - Iranian frontier regions such as Gandhāra, Bunēr, the land of the Seven Rivers ." The Hindu Kush range region was later a historically significant centre of Buddhism with sites such as the Bamiyan Buddhas . The range and communities settled in it hosted ancient monasteries, important trade networks, and travelers between Central Asia and South Asia . The Hindu Kush range has also been the passageway during the invasions of the Indian subcontinent, and continues to be important during modern era warfare in Afghanistan . </P>
