> The major rivers of India and China all originate in Tibet
Apart from the Brahmaputra, which flows through the part of India east of Bangladesh, I have a hard time finding a major India river that originates in Tibet. Certainly, the Ganges flows west to east.
What river(s) do I overlook?
- saiya-jin 5y agoIndeed OPs comment doesn't make much sense. Ganges is sourced in Gangotri, Yamuna in Yamunotri which are in Indian territory, behing massive himalayan wall separating it from (occupied and formerly indian) chinese territory. Mighty fine hiking locations too!
- collyw 5y agoThe Karnarli comes from Mt Kailash, which is a tributary of the Ganges.
- collyw 5y agoThere are 4 sacred river that originate from Mt Kailash as far as I remember. https://www.wondersoftibet.com/mount-kailash-four-river-sources/ https://www.wondersoftibet.com/mount-kailash-four-river-sour... (I have kayaked the Karnarli, well worth a rafting trip if you are in Nepal). I think the Yarlung Tsangpo as well comes from one of them. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/80558/yarlung-tsangpo-the-everest-of-rivers https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/80558/yarlung-tsang... Ahhh, wait, in see you said India. That would be the Indus and Karnarli - which goes to the Ganges. Sorry rushed post not got time to remind myself.
