Information of Haryana Land ¤ The Hills The Shivaliks, the
lowest of the Himalayan range, cradle Haryana in the north. The
Aravalli hills, cutting through Rajasthan, make an appearance in
the south towards Delhi. These small hills claim to be famous as
the Alwar and Ajaibarg series. The hills are mainly of the low
lying kinds, ensuring that temperatures dont drop to right
inside the bone in winter. ¤ The Plains The most characteristic
feature of Haryana is its alluvium plains made up of sand, clay,
silt and hard calcareous balls like gravel the size of nuts
known locally as kankar. Towards the south the plains are dotted
with piled up sand, which can run for miles at a stretch and are
called sand dunes! Although a fertile land, the sand covered
alluvium in southern areas makes it a trifle difficult for the
farmers to utilise these plains to grow crops, and labouring in
the sweltering Indian summer heat can be more than a trifle
difficult. ¤ The Rivers No major river runs through Haryana,
