Nine kilometers below dasso, on the Braldu, the Basha River joins from the right, and the combined flow forms the Shigar River, flowing into the Indus at Skardu. The river is braided around sand and gravel bars, but at high snow melt levels it moves quickly. Huge surfing waves from over sand waves on the river bottom. The valley is wide and rich with agriculture wherever irrigation is possible. The ferry across the Indus to take out at Skardu is strenuous.
