The Shyok as it meets the Indus River is a huge river its own right, the largest tributary of the upper Indus. It paralleled by roads on both sides of its wide lower valley, an for most of the first ten kilometers it is wide and relative flat. By late May, however, it is swollen by snowmelt to many thousands of cfs, and its power warrants respect. Most of the secound half of the run is big water class IV, and four carries may be required.
