Shyok River

Shyok River
Another one of the most famous Leh Ladakh tourist places is the Shyok River. A tributary of the Indus river, this river rises in the Rimo Glacier which is one of the branches of the Siachen Glacier in the Karakorams. It is also known as the ‘The River of Death’ as many men and animals were swept away while crossing this river. The views of the river are breathtaking and it is definitely one of the best places you will witness in the Leh Ladakh region.
