Indus

Indus is a great river of India and Pakistan, 1800 miles long. It rises in Tibet, on the North of the Himalayas, flows North-West through Kashmir in India, then South-West through the Punjab and Sind provinces of Pakistan to the Arabian sea. Its upper course is through great gorges and very rapid, but after the entrance of the Kabul River its way lies through arid plains, and it is navigable. After receiving the Panjnad its volume decreases through evaporation and the sinking of some of the many streams into which it divides in the sand. On one of the branches of the delta stands the thriving port of Karachi in Pakistan.
