Low and bare hills provide a panoramic view of prairie-like widespread plains while higher ends are covered with pine trees and snow in the winter. The lack of irrigation facilities in the district has affected the productivity of the soil in spite of its fertility. Cultivation mainly depends on seasonal rainfall.
