The outcrops at Liachar village show a faulted contected of the gneisses of the Nanga Parbat massif onto poorly consolidated fluvio-glacial deposits of the Indus Valley. looking NNE, the photograph below shows the side of the Indus valley, with over 2000m of vertical relief. The lower part of the slope contains the critical young tectonic contact, with the overlying material being exclusively made up of rocks of the massif.
