water resources? Nepal three great River Systems, i.
e. the Kosi(or SaptaKosi) River, the Narayani River
(Gandak River), and the Karnali River originate in
Tibet from glaciers & lakes, flow down south through
deep gorges, and after overflowing and irrigating
the Terai plains flow toward Ganges in India. Each
of these mighty rivers have seven major tributaries

the two tributaries among the seven of the SaptaKosi
River.

the thousands of roaring rivers in Nepal offer a
variety of white water sports. Rafting, Kayaking, &
sightseeing along the river course from the
Himalayas to the Terai plain have become popular
activities among those yearning for adventure,
