The Nanga Parbat–Haramosh (NPHM) massif is a unique structural and topographic high in the northwestern corner of the Himalayan convergence zone. Previously, the NPHM was thought to be bounded by the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT), a fault along which the Kohistan-Ladakh island arc was obducted onto the northern margin of India. This study presents field evidence that the recently active dextral reverse Raikot fault truncates the MMT and forms the western boundary of the NPHM. The Raikot fault separates medium-grade, Mesozoic to middle Cenozoic mafic metasedimentary and intrusive rocks of the Kohistan island arc (Kohistan Sequence) from high-grade Proterozoic metasedimentary...
