Brahmaputra RiverRiver, Central and South Asia. From its headsprings in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China (as the Yarlung River), it flows across southern Tibet to break through the Himalayas in great gorges (where it is known as the Dihang). It flows southwest through the Assam Valley and south through Bangladesh (where it is known as the Jamuna). There it merges with the Ganges (Ganga) to form a vast delta. About 1,800 mi (2,900 km) long, the river is an important source for irrigation and transportation. Its upper course was long unknown, and its identity with the Zangbo was only established by exploration in 1884–86. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | In a study published by the British-based science journal Nature, the investigators looked at the Tsangpo River, the world's highest major river, which starts at an elevation of 4,400 metres (13,500 metres) before slicing through the Himalayas and emptying into the Bay of Bengal. Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse, Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarova, Mount Everest, Yarlong Tsangpo River, Sera Monastery and Lake Namco are places to visit in Tibet. The Yarlung Tsangpo River (Brahmaputra), must be at least two miles wide, swollen by seasonal rains, its opacity representing millions of tons of mountain, worn and torn down by water. |
