Galwan River

The Galwan River is a remote, high-altitude river located in the Ladakh region of northern India, flowing through the Himalayas. It forms part of the boundary between India and China. The area is known for its rugged terrain and strategic importance, having been the site of a tense border conflict in 2020. The river's environment is characterized by snow-capped peaks, icy waters, and limited accessibility, making it a challenging region for military and exploration activities. It exemplifies the complex geopolitical and geographical factors that influence border regions in the Himalayas.
