The Indus Drainage System
This system comprises of the Indus River and its five main tributaries namely Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. The Indus is a part of Sapt Sindh.

Sapta Sindhu and the Zoroastrian Avesta are both known as Hapta Hindu (both terms meaning "seven rivers"). However, linguists state that the original meaning of Sindhu/Hindu was not a body of water, but rather a frontier or bank. Early historical kingdoms that arose in the Indus Valley include Gandhāra, and the Ror dynasty of Sauvīra. The Indus rises in Tibet near Manasarowar Lake near…SênggêZangbo in a spring.

It flows west and northwestwards and enters Indian Territory in Jammu and Kashmir.  It flows through Laddakh, Baltistan and Gilgit.  After emerging out of the hills, the Indus flows southwestwards across Pakistan.  Finally the river reaches the Arabian Sea near Karachi.

With Best Wishes!
