Sunkhosi

The Sunkoshi, or “golden river,” flows through the mountains of eastern Nepal as part of the great Kosi river system. One of its headwaters rises within Nepal; another descends from Tibet, where it is called the Matsang Tsangpo, and enters Nepal as the Bhote Koshi. The river joins waters from the Himalayan valleys on their way south towards the plains, cutting a deep course through the mountains.
