Sangam ( Confluence point )

 

---------------

 

The Zanskar is a north-flowing tributary of the river Indus.

 

Nimmu is a beautiful valley that marks the confluence of the Indus River and Zanskar River.

 

The Indus River drains the dry and deserted terrains of Ladakh's landlocked valley and serves as its lifeline.

 

Zanskar, on the other hand, is a tributary of this river and merges into it from the north-eastern direction. On its way to the meeting point, the river passes through the spectacular Zanskar Gorge, which is a dream destination for city trekkers.

 

 

In summer, tourists flock tho this areas, making rafting trips, typically from Chiling to Nimmu.

 

In the winter season, when the road to Zanskar is closed by snow on the high passes, the only overland route to Padum is by walking along/on the frozen river, a multi-day hike that is now sold as an adventure activity called the Chadar ('ice sheet') Trek
