The Gilgit River (Urdu: دریائے گلگت) is a tributary of the Indus River, flowing through various districts of Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region, including Gupis-Yasin, Ghizer and Gilgit districts. The Gilgit River originates from Shandur Lake^[1] and proceeds to join the Indus River near the towns of Juglot and Bunji. This confluence is believed to mark the meeting point of three prominent mountain ranges: the Hindu Kush, the Himalaya, and the Karakoram ranges..^[2]^[3]

The upper sections of the Gilgit River are referred to as the Gupis River and Ghizer River.
