    The Indus River originates in the Karakoram Mountains and flows through the Hindu Kush and Punjab plains, where its tributaries join it. The eastern tributaries originate in the Himalayas and flow through Kashmir before joining the Indus in the plains. Desert areas have limited rainfall and vegetation due to lack of water, high temperatures, and strong winds that cause erosion.
