Valley of the Shyok

Shyok and tributaries

Template: Infobox River / Obsolete

Its source is on the east side of the Karakoram mountain range in India near the border with China. He springs from the Rimo Glacier below the Rimo I at an altitude of 6983 m. Shortly after the source receives a tapered from the Chinese side inflow which is longer than himself, he flows on the Indian side in a V -shaped bend first southeast and then in a westerly direction. In the first portion of the sheet he receives further inflows from the Chinese side. The most important tributary is the Chang- Chen -Mo, which flows into it just before the apex of the V -arm. In the second section of the V- arc of the Nubra flows into the Shyok, with which it forms, along a wide high valley ( Nubra valley) through which flows far fanned. Later narrows the Shyok and runs parallel to the southern Indus, into which it flows at Keris in Pakistan about.

The upper valley of the Shyok is up to the immediate river margins largely without vegetation and dry. However, an exception to settlement areas, where agriculture and farming is done and the voltage applied across artificial vegetation have.
