The mighty Sindhu River, our nation’s pride, is a symbol of ancient Indian civilization. The name “SINDHU” which means “SAMUDRA” (The Vast Sea) has been given to it because of its size, volume, and the long-distance it covers. The Sindhu River is one of the world’s longest rivers. Various other names given to our country such as Hindustan, Hind, India, etc. have been derived from Sindhu or ‘Indus’ (as given by foreigners). It is here, lord Jhulelal was born. The inspiration, motivation, and creation of holy Vedas were also the results of Sindhu’s Magical Powers. Hence, references to this holy Sindhu river can be found at many points and mentioned in the Hindu VEDAS.

A rise in the number of tourists every year is a clear indication of the love and affection of people all over India and abroad of this region. The Journey to the Sindhu Rivers, takes us back to a 5000 Years old Indus Valley Civilisation, also known as the “Harappa & Mohenjodaro”, historically. The Sindhu River originates in the South West Tibet at the height of 16000 feet, and enters India, from Leh, which is in Ladakh. After Travelling for about 200 miles it touches the southern west borders of Jammu, at a height of 15000 feet. It meets its first tributary Janskar at about 11KMS from Leh, in Ladakh. In the same direction, it travels for about 1500 KMS, it meets the river “SHYOK”. At this point, the Sindhu River is 16KMS Broad and looks as huge as a sea. It then flows to Kashmir & enters Pakistan.

Sindhu Darshan Yatra is not just a ritual of taking a dip at the river and offering prayer but a celebration of unity and cultural confluence which also shows the richness and diversity of the country’s rich age-old culture. Sindhu Yatra has been recognized internationally as a cultural heritage of humanity.
