About river Sutlej

The source of the Sutlej is west of the catchment area of Lake Rakshastal. The Sutlej River originates at Rakshastal’s northwestern tip. Lake Rakshastal is a saltwater lake in Tibet. It lies just west of Lake Manasarovar and south of Mount Kailash. The river is the easternmost tributary of the Indus River.

• Flowing northwestward and then to west-southwestward through Himalayan gorges, it penetrates and crosses the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh before starting its flow through the Punjab plain near Nangal, Punjab state.
• Persisting southwestward in a broad channel, it receives the Beas River and forms 65 miles (105 km) of the India-Pakistan border before entering Pakistan and flowing another 220 miles (350 km) to join the Chenab River west of Bahawalpur.
• The combined rivers then form the Panjnad, the link between the Five Rivers and the Indus.
