Brahmaputra River

The Brahmaputra  is one of the main rivers of Asia, a trans-boundary river which flows via China, India and Bangladesh. As such, it's miles recognized through numerous names inside the location. In Assamese: ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰ নদ(Male River), Bråhmåputrå; Sanskrit:  IAST: Brahmaputra; Tibetan: ་, Wylie: yar klung gtsang po Yarlung Tsangpo;simplified chinese language:  conventional chinese language:  pinyin: Bùlāmǎpǔtèlā Hé. it's also known as Tsangpo-Brahaputra (when relating to the complete river which includes the stretch inside Tibet),[3] and the Jamuna River in Bangladesh. The Manas River that runs through Bhutan joins it at Jogighopa, in India. it is the 10th biggest river within the global via discharge, and the 29th longest

The Brahmaputra River (also called as "Burlung-Buthur" by using the Bodo people of Assam), called Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibetan language, originates at the Angsi Glacier located on the northern aspect of the Himalayas in Burang County of Tibet. The source of the river became in advance notion to be on the Chemayungdung glacier, which covers the slopes of the Himalayas approximately 60 miles (one hundred km) southeast of Lake Manasarovar in southwestern Tibet. The river is 3,848 km (2,391 mi) long, and its drainage region is 712,1/2 km2 (274,918 sq.mi) according to the new findings, while preceding documents showed its duration various from 2,900 to three,350 km and its drainage place among 520,000 and 1.73 million km2. This finding has been given with the aid of Liu Shaochuang, a researcher with the Institute of remote Sensing applications under the evaluation the use of expeditions and satellite imagery from the chinese language Academy of Sciences (CAS).[1][10]

From its source, the river runs for almost 1,one hundred km (680 mi) in a usually easterly course between the primary range of the Himalayas to the south and the Kailas variety to the north. at some stage in its upper direction, the river is commonly known as the Tsangpo (“cleanser”); it is also recognized with the aid of its chinese name (Yarlung Zangbo) and via different nearby Tibetan names.

In Tibet, the Tsangpo gets some of tributaries. The maximum critical left-financial institution tributaries are the Raka Zangbo (Raka Tsangpo), which joins the river west of Xigazê (Shigatse), and the Lhasa (Kyi), which flows beyond the Tibetan capital of Lhasa and joins the Tsangpo at Qüxü. The Nyang Qu (Gyamda) River joins the river from the north at Zela (Tsela Dzong). at the right bank, a second river known as the Nyang Qu (Nyang Chu) meets the Tsangpo at Xigazê.

After passing Pi (Pe) in Tibet, the river turns unexpectedly to the north and northeast and cuts a route through a succession of brilliant slender gorges between the mountainous massifs of Gyala Peri and Namcha Barwa in a chain of rapids and cascades. Thereafter, the river turns south and southwest and flows via a deep gorge (the “Grand Canyon” of the Tsangpo) across the eastern extremity of the Himalayas with canyon partitions that expand upward for five,000 m (sixteen,000 feet) and more on every facet. at some stage in that extend, the river enters northern Arunachal Pradesh nation in northeastern India, wherein it is referred to as the Dihang (or Siang) River, and turns greater southerly.
