Yarlung Tsangpo River

The Yarlung Tsangpo River, also known as the Brahmaputra in India, is a major watercourse originating in Tibet's high-altitude mountains. It flows eastward through Tibet, then turns south to enter India, where it becomes a vital waterway for agriculture, transportation, and ecosystems. Known for its dramatic gorge, the Yarlung Tsangpo plays a crucial role in regional water systems, supporting millions of people and diverse wildlife. It is also a focus of scientific interest due to its unique geology, hydrology, and potential for hydroelectric power development.
