Solution
A ‘Dun’ is a longitudinal valley located between the Lesser Himalayas (Himachal) and the Shiwalik ranges. It is typically a flat-floored, fertile valley filled with alluvial deposits.
Duns are often marshy and have been formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers flowing from the Himalayas.
