Gangdise

The Gangdise and neighbouring Transhimalayan ranges rise above the great valley of the Yarlung Tsangpo in southern Tibet. The river flows east through Tsang between these northern highlands and the Himalayas to the south. Its tributary valleys open routes towards towns and monasteries, while the ridges above form a colder and more sparsely inhabited landscape. The river eventually turns south through the eastern Himalayas, becoming the Brahmaputra.
