The Karakash River is a river located in the Xinjiang region of western China. It flows through the Karakoram mountain range and is known for its stunning landscapes and unique geological features. The river is an important water source for the surrounding areas and contributes to the local ecosystem. The Karakash River eventually merges with the Kashgar River, which is a significant tributary of the Tarim River. The river's waters are primarily fed by glacial melt from the surrounding mountains, making it a vital resource for agriculture and local communities in the arid region.
