Beās, an Indian stream, one of the 'Five Rivers' of the Punjab, rises in the Snowy Mountains of Kulu, at an altitude of 13,320 feet above sea-level. It flows through the Kánga Valley, and generally SW., to the plains of the Punjab, where it joins the Sutlej some 30 miles above Ferozpur, after a course of 290 miles.
