Indus River depth: The issue related to the Indus River has prominently overshadowed the tension between India and Pakistan. But do you know where this river, which flows through India, Pakistan, and China, is the deepest?

If you don’t know, we will tell you here.

The Indus River is one of the most important and ancient rivers in the world. This river flows not only through India and Pakistan but also through Tibet.

The Indus River starts from the northern part of the Himalayas, passes through Jammu and Kashmir in India and Pakistan, and finally merges into the Arabian Sea.

The length of the Indus River is recorded at approximately 3180 kilometers. But, have you ever wondered how deep the Indus River is at its deepest point? If you don’t know, the answer today will really leave you astounded.

First of all, know that the Indus River is deepest near Nanga Parbat in Gilgit-Baltistan. Here its depth ranges from 4500 to 5200 meters, or 14800 to 17100 feet.

Historically, the Indus was important to many cultures. The 3rd millennium BC saw the rise of Indus Valley Civilisation, a major urban civilization of the Bronze Age. Early historical kingdoms that arose in the Indus Valley include Gandhāra and Sindhu-Sauvīra. The Indus River came into the knowledge of the Western world early in the classical period, when King Darius of Persia sent his Greek subject Scylax of Caryanda to explore the river, c. 515 BC.
