Stunning confluence of Indus and Zanskar rivers in Ladakh - aerial view
Zanskar river originates from the Himalayas, meets Indus river which originates from China and flows into Pakistan. Near Nimmu or Nimo in Ladakh is the point where the confluence between Zanskar and Indus rivers happens. A confluence of 2 rivers and 3 countries.
Ladakh is a region of India in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and lies between the Kunlun mountain range in the north and the main Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir. It is also known as the Land of High Passes. Ladakh is the highest plateau of state of Kashmir with much of it being over 3,000 m (9,800 ft). It spans the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges and the upper Indus River valley. Ladakh district was a district of the Jammu and Kashmir state of India until 1 July 1979 when it was divided into Leh district and Kargil district. Each of these districts is governed by a Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, which is based on the pattern of the Darjeeling Gorkha Autonomous Hill Council. These councils were created as a compromise solution to the demands of Ladakhi people to make Leh a union territory.

Confluence of Sindhu (Indus) and Zanskar Rivers near Leh, Ladakh
The road to Cargil from Leh (Ladakh) goes along the roaring waters of Sindhu (Indus River. About 40 Km from Leh, River Zanskar joins the Sindhu river ahead of the town of Nimu. At this spot the road is at a much higher elevation and view of the confluence from here makes a thrilling and breath taking experience
Nimmu, Confluence of Mighty Indus & Zanskar Rivers, Leh, J&K, India
The Zanskar River is a north-flowing tributary of the Indus. In its upper reaches, the Zanskar has two main branches. First of these, the Doda, has its source near the Pensi-la 4,400 m (14,400 ft) mountain-pass and flows south-eastwards along the main Zanskar valley leading towards Padum, the capital of Zanskar. The second branch is formed by two main tributaries known as Kargyag river, with its source near the Shingo La 5,091 m (16,703 ft), and Tsarap river, with its source near the Baralacha-La. These two rivers unite below the village of Purne to form the Lungnak river (also known as the Lingti or Tsarap). The Lungnak river then flows north-westwards along a narrow gorge towards Zanskar's central valley (known locally as gzhung khor), where it unites with the Doda river to form the main Zanskar river. This river then takes a north-eastern course through the dramatic Zanskar Gorge until it joins the Indus near Nimmu in Ladakh.

Confluence / Sangam of Indus and Zanskar rivers @ Leh, Ladakh
Indus river is originated from the great Himalayan ranges and Zanskar river originates from Zanskar ranges. Zanskar river is shiny blue in colour, on the other hand Indus looks a little green. Zanskar meets Indus in Nimmu valley from the north-east. This is a scenic view for the visitors and they find it fascinating to mark both the rivers even after their confluence.

Rivers Indus & Zanskar Confluence
River basins are the cradles of earliest known civilizations. Indus river basin gave birth to the Harappan culture that co-existed with Mesopotamian of Euphratus of present day Iraq. The Mesopotamian civilization or better known as the Sumerians continued through various cultures like the Egyptians, Ysraelites and Babylonians of ancient times. Research gave the understanding that Mesopotamian culture contnued through Greek and Rome in medieval period that passed on the traditions to modern European civilisation and the rest of the world. On the other hand, Indus civilization disappeared for reason not known. It is possible that Indus was a satellite of the Sumerian civilization. The Aryan immigrants from central Asia of later times would not be connected to the Harappans. The Harappans of dark skin and Aryans of fair skin were two different cultures viz, the urban dwellers, of Harappa and the nomadic invading tribes of Central Asia, the Aryans.
The Indus river is a mark of ancient history of mankind. It originated from Tibetan plateau and enriched the regions now called Afghanistan, Pakistan and northwest India in ancient times. This great river survives ecological changes but is now reduced to a small river and meets several small rivers along the way to the Arabian sea. River Indus meets river Zanskar at Ladakh. Indus on the left side is muddy green colour and Zanskar on the other side is muddy brown colour. This place is of great tourist interest and it offers boating and rafting to visitors.

Confluence of Indus and Zanskar rivers
Natural confluence of Zanskar and Indus River in Ladakh.
The Zanskar River is a north-flowing tributary of the Indus. In its upper reaches, the Zanskar has two main branches. First of these, the Doda, has its source near the Pensi-la 4,400 m (14,400 ft) mountain-pass and flows south-eastwards along the main Zanskar valley leading towards Padum, the capital of Zanskar. The second branch is formed by two main tributaries known as Kargyag river, with its source near the Shingo La 5,091 m (16,703 ft), and Tsarap river, with its source near the Baralacha-La. These two rivers unite below the village of Purne to form the Lungnak river (also known as the Lingti or Tsarap). The Lungnak river then flows north-westwards along a narrow gorge towards Zanskar's central valley (known locally as gzhung khor), where it unites with the Doda river to form the main Zanskar river. This river then takes a north-eastern course through the dramatic Zanskar Gorge until it joins the Indus near Nimmu in Ladakh.
The confluence of the Zanskar River (from top) and the Indus (bottom flowing from left to right) is 3 km southeast of Nimmu village in Ladakh.
Lower (northern) sections of that gorge are popular in summer with tourists making rafting trips, typically from Chiling to Nimmu. In winter when the road to Zanskar is closed by snow on the high passes, the only overland route to Padum is by walking along the frozen river, a multi-day hike that is now sold as an adventure activity called the Chadar ('ice sheet') Trek. This trek will eventually be rendered obsolete once the road from Chiling to Padum is completed.

Confluence of Indus and Zanskar Rivers, Nimmu, Ladakh (2016) – 1 of 2
As you move ahead from Magnetic Hills, just before Nimmu Village, there comes a famous confluence of two rivers Indus River coming from Tibet (left) and Zanskar River coming from Zanskar Valley (right). Zanskar River is known for its famous Chadar Trek. Chadar Trek is done in peak winters when the Zanskar River freezes and people trek over it to reach Padum Village in Zanskar Valley from Leh because of heavy snowfall. Now, there is a tourist spot that has been created along the shores of the confluence where you can spend some relaxing time along the two rivers.
There is a beautiful road that runs just along Zanskar River which you can ride up to Chilling Village, if you have some time and loves riding lonely and peaceful road. Chilling is about 25km from the Confluence and a nice place to visit, plus you will have ample of spots where you can lay aside river shore and feel the raw nature all for yourself. Generally, a lot of people do rafting in Zanskar River from Chilling to Nimmu. There is also a road which is under construction that will eventually lead to Padum Village from chilling running along Zanskar River. Once the road will complete it will render full year connectivity of Zanskar Valley to Leh – Ladakh and the Chadar trek might get obsolete in such a case.
When you head towards Basgo, on the way you can also see the longest Mani Wall (about 600m) just at the exit of Nimmu Village.

Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make you aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin it. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it.
I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”.
* Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers.
* Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travellers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily..
* Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife.
* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.
