    The Shyok River is a tributary of the Indus River that flows through northern Ladakh and enters Gilgit-Baltistan, spanning some 550 km. The river joins the Indus east of the town of Skardu.

    The name Shyok is derived from Tibetan (shag) 'gravel' + (gyog) 'to spread' and therefore means 'gravel spreader', referring to the large quantities of gravel that the river deposits when it floods.
