3.2.4 The Indus river system

          Though massive as a whole, it has only a small segment left in the present-day India. The rivers of the North West Himalayas are Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, the Beas and Sutlej. This system harbours exotic rainbow and brown trouts in their upper reaches and a variety of indigenous carps and catfishes in their lower sections. Trout streams of Kashmir constitute one of the world’s richest sport fishing waters attracting tourists from all over the world.
