The River Satluj (Sutlej), known as Langqen Zangbo in Tibet, enters India through this pass, making Shipki La the gateway of the Satluj Valley. The Chumbi Valley lies near Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet trijunction (Nathu La/Jelep La), while Brahmaputra and Teesta valleys are in the Eastern Himalayas. Hence the correct answer is Satluj Valley.
