The Indus river is one of the most important waterways in all of South Asia, granting its name to the Indian peninsula as a whole. Most of the river flows southward through Pakistan, bisecting the country neatly, and a small portion passes through Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir. The source of the river is found in the highlands of Tibet. Some of the earliest known urban settlements were supported in the Indus region, all of them part of what has come to be known as the Indus Valley Civilization. Because the river continued to be a center of historical importance well into the colonial period, many historically significant sites well worth visiting dot the river's course. Due to the area's present-day political instability, it's important for travelers to check for advisories before setting out to explore.
