Abstract: The upper reaches of the Indus River form a longitudinal network that drains a large portion of the western Himalaya. It plays an important role as a sediment routing system, feeding the Indus Delta and submarine fan, and has played a controlling role in the denudational history of the western Himalaya. Given the rivers long-term significance, its timing of initiation remains poorly constrained. The facies, palaeocurrents and provenance of the post-early Eocene Indus Group preserved along the upper reaches of the modern Indus reveal a history of fluvial/deltaic and deep-water sedimen...
