The Beas River is one of the major rivers in northern India, originating from the Himalayas in the Himachal Pradesh state. It flows through the states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab before merging with the Sutlej River in the town of Harike. The river has a total length of about 470 kilometers (290 miles).
The Beas River is known for its crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings, passing through some of the most scenic and rugged terrain of the region. It is an important river in terms of both irrigation and hydroelectric power generation, with several dams and hydroelectric plants built along its course, such as the Pandoh Dam and Bhakra Dam (though the latter is on the Sutlej River, it is closely linked to the Beas River system).
