Lohit River
The Lohit River, also known as the Zayul Chu by the Tibetans, is a river in Tibet and India, which joins the Brahmaputra River in the state of Assam. It is formed in the Zayul County of the Tibet Autonomous Region, through a merger of two rivers: the Kangri Karpo Chu, which originates in the Kangri Karpo range, and Zayul Chu, which originates to its northeast.Photo: शंतनू, CC BY-SA 3.0.
