Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The Zaskar

The Indus River begins its journey near the Mansarovar Lake, in Tibet in China. From Tibet, flowing towards the west, the river enters India through Ladakh. From Ladakh, the river flows through the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir. Zaskar, Nubra, Hunza and Shyok are some of the tributaries that join the Indus river in the Kashmir region. Mand, Ong, and Shonath are the tributaries of the Mahanadi river.
