| Chang Celmo river The Chang Celmo River is a tributary of the Shyok River which joins the Indus River in Ladakh. This river originates from a large glacier on the western slopes of the Lanak La pass on the eastern border of Ladakh and Tibet. The Chang Celmo River then flows westwards along the northern base of an offshoot range of the Karakoram before flowing into the Shyok River a short distance downstream of Shukpa Kuzang. |
Snow-covered high mountains encircle the Chang Celmo valley from all sides. The river descends along a series of rapids. A thick deposit of sediments has been laid down along the river bed. The Chang Celmo River freezes during the winter season. It is in spate in late summer when the snow in its catchment area melts at a faster pace.
The Chang Celmo valley is bleak and remote. Vegetation is sparse. Pamzal is one of the few human settlements that have arisen along this river. The trail from Chushul to Lanak La crosses this valley.
