Which of the following rivers originates from the Lahaul Valley of Himachal Pradesh?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Chenab river.

The Chenab River originates from the Lahaul Valley of Himachal Pradesh. These two rivers originate on opposite sides of the Baralacha Pass in the Lahaul and Spiti district—the Chandra from the southeast and the Bhaga from the northwest. The Chandra River starts southeast of Baralacha Pass, while the Bhaga River originates northwest of the pass. These two rivers converge at Tandi in Lahaul to form the Chenab River, which flows through Himachal Pradesh before entering Jammu and Kashmir and later Pakistan.
