Indus–Zanskar Confluence (Sangam)
Sangam
Where the turquoise Zanskar River meets the muddy Indus River near Nimmu village. Two differently coloured waters flow side by side, making it one of Ladakh's most classic river views.
The confluence lies about 35 km west of Leh. From the viewpoint beside the road, you can see two rivers of very different colours flowing side by side before gradually merging. In summer, this is the end point of Zanskar River rafting, and you can book a half-day rafting trip in Leh for about INR 2,000–3,500. In winter, when the Zanskar River freezes, the Chadar Trek, a walk on the frozen river, starts from nearby. The viewpoint is free, and it is often combined with Magnetic Hill and the gurdwara as a half-day west-side tour.
