in the lake mansarover highlands of Kailas mountains of Tibetan Plateau, it runs
from north to south through the entire length of the Pakistan and after collecting

water to the entire Indus Basin .
These rivers have their origin in the higher altitudes and derive their flows mainly from snowmelt and monsoon rains;
