Ganga Chhu

Ganga Chhu
Location Tibet Autonomous Region, China

Ganga Chu is a river in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is located between lake Manasarovar (4604 m MSL) and Rakshas Tal (4580 m MSL). It has a length of about 10 km (between a source and a mouth of 8 km). Now (expedition in May 2010) owing to fall of level of lake Manasarovar the visible source of the river of Ganges from Manasarovar is absent. However owing to presence of hot wells at a monastery the river Chiu of Ganga nevertheless bears the waters in lake Rakshas Tal. Photos river Ganga
