Tropicos does not mention it unless Lynn can quote synonyms and I search them. I have been having a feeling for a long time. There are various ranges here and I am next to the Himalayas which are verdant, moist, cool, etc. Hindu Khush is not all that far off(100 kilometers) and is dry, arid, cold and a hell hole. We have all the Koppens zones from Afghanistan here but if you look closely they are along the border.
I don't know how to explain but if you draw a line through the middle of Pakistan, North to South parallel to the border the Western part is all conflict zone and out of bounds for sane people. All the original inhabitants from these areas are refugees in the Eastern half. I can go but remain locked in cantonments, cannot roam around in the wild.
There is a small patch to the North where I might get safe passage with a camera
, let me think. Just keep passing me the info. Maybe sanity might prevail some day which is now a common wish in this part of the world.
Huuuum! Cold and arid. Kalla Chitta range, nopes hot and arid. Karakorum range along the Chinese border, now that is a possibility but that place is accessible four or five months of the year rest snowbound. Plus normal lungs cannot cope up with the rare atmosphere. We have to take a forced break at 10000 feet, minimum one month.
Regards,
Arif.
Lynn I've been looking already, the Denver botanical garden has a patch of it, maybe someone in that area could find out more 
I learn't a long time back not to take all four tires across anything lying on the road how so ever small, I skirt it. One eye on the horizon any disturbance, turn and run.
Stay safe Arif. I can't imagine how difficult living in a war zone must be, I pray that common sense and peace prevails very soon
