The Zanskar River is the first major tributary of the Indus River, equal or greater in volume than the main river,[1] which flows entirely within Ladakh, India. It originates northeast of the Great Himalayan range and drains both the Himalayas and the Zanskar Range within the region of Zanskar. It flows northeast to join the Indus River near Nimo.
