The Hushe is a right tributary of the Shyok in the Pakistani special territory of Gilgit-Baltistan .

The Hushe drains the Masherbrum Mountains to the south. It arises at the glacier gate of the Gondogoro glacier . From there it flows south through the southern Karakoram located Hushetal . The village of Hushe lies on the river. Other larger glaciers that feed the river are the Charakusa glacier (from left), as well as the Masherbrum glacier , the Aling glacier and the Kandegletscher (from right). About 10 km above the mouth near the village of Haldi , the Saltoro River meets the Hushe when coming from the east. After a total of 50 km, the Hushe flows into the Shyok, a right tributary of the Indus, which flows west not far from Khaplu .
