Sangam of Indus and Zanskar River

All the Ladakh packages take you to the River Sangam that lies in the way of Alchi monastery. River Sangam is a suitable starting destination for riverrafting in Ladakh, but only any A+ rafters can enjoy rafting here.

Sangam is a Hindi word which means confluence (where two rivers meet each other). Zanskar is the river formed by joining of two streams, Lungnak (means "dark gorge") and Stod, which carries the melted water of the great Drang-drung glacier.

Sangam of Indus and Zanskar River

One can drive through a picturesque landscape for about 30 km west of Leh. The confluence of the Indus and Zanskar River is 4 km before Nimo village in Leh Ladakh. The confluence has a magnificent view of the two rivers having different colors and force.

On the way before reaching Nimo village, one gets a magnificent view of the Sangam of Zanskar & Indus River. One can easily see the joining destination. At Nimo Zanskar joins Indus which ultimately called Indus. At confluence destination, the river coming from the left is Indus, which is very clear, and forms the fertile Indus valley (Leh, Saspol, Basgo, Alchi etc) and the other on the right is the muddy Zanskar, which water is not very much useful for the cultivation purpose.

It is at an altitude of 10,823 feet above sea level. From the top road one can have a good view of the entire area. One can drive down very near to the river shore and can feel the chill and fresh water.
