Indus River meeting Zanskar River, Ladakh, India
The Indus is a transboundary river of Asia and a trans-Himalayan river of South and Central Asia. The 3,120 km river rises in mountain springs northeast of Mount Kailash in Western Tibet, flows northwest through the disputed region of Kashmir, bends sharply to the left after the Nanga Parbat massif, and flows south-by-southwest through Pakistan, before emptying into the Arabian Sea near the port city of Karachi.
The green-tinged Indus river meets the slightly muddy Zanskar river which has its source in the Zanskar valley near the scenic Nimmu valley, that falls between Leh and Kargil. The rivers are clearly distinguished by their colours.
While there are so many fascinating spots in Ladakh,India that can catch the eye of the wanderlust, the river confluence of Zanskar and Indus is nothing short of a glimpse of heaven.
