    The Shyok River is a major tributary of the Indus River. It originates in the Rangkum Valley in the Tibetan Plateau and flows through Gilgit-Baltistan (in Pakistan) before joining the Indus River.
    The Shyok River is an important tributary that contributes to the flow of the Indus, particularly in the northern regions.

    • The Shyok River is sometimes referred to as the "River of Death" because of its turbulent flow and the difficult terrain it passes through.

    • The river plays a significant role in the hydrology of the Indus basin, affecting the water flow in the region, which is vital for agriculture in the surrounding areas.
