On reaching the Namcha Barwa (7757 m), which river takes a ‘U’ turn and enters India in Arunachal Pradesh through a gorge and here it is called the Dihang?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Brahmaputra
The Brahmaputra rises near Lake Mansarovar in Tibet and flows east across Tibet as the Tsangpo. On reaching Namcha Barwa (7757 m) it takes a sharp ‘U’ turn round the peak and enters India in Arunachal Pradesh through a deep gorge, where it is called the Siang or Dihang. It then flows into Assam, where it is joined by the Dibang and the Lohit and takes the name Brahmaputra.
