Recent studies have shown that the massif exposes an active metamorphic anomaly developed in Indian-Plate rocks exhumed from beneath and surrounded by rocks of the Kohistan/Ladakh island-arc.

In the Hazara region, between the Indus and Kaghan Valleys, metamorphic grade increases northwards from chlorite zone to sillimanite zone rocks in a typically Barrovian sequence.
