ROCK FORMATIONS THAT RESEMBLES HUMANS LOCATED AT PANJPEER ROCKS

23-03-2019


Weather, wind and heat are the elements that can sculpt spectacular rock formations. Wind shapes the fantastical forms by eroding less dense rock, like sandstone, faster than surrounding rock. While many rock formations are carved into majestic arches and bridges, there are some that have taken more bizarre human-like shapes, like faces and profiles.

Panjpeer is the highest point of Danoi Range in Kotli Sattaian, Kahuta.  The area is full of amazing rock formation and located at distance of roughly three hours from Islamabad the capital city of Pakistan.


We found few amazing rock formations while hiking towards Panjpeer top, we started our walk from a small village named Horiak. This site is less explored as it is not located along the road.

1.  “The Sphinx”

A huge natural rock formation, I called it “The Sphinx” on first glance as it resembled to the human head of the mythical creature of Giza.



2.  Statue of Calmness

A huge boulder which have all formations similar to human nose, eyes and lips.  Moreover these entire features give a collective look of calmness



3. The Knight




Such formation formed through and Aeolian process of wind erosion over a long period of time.
