Raidak River, Indian River
The Raidak River is one of the main right bank tributaries of the Brahmaputra River.

The Raidak River is one of the main right bank tributaries of the Brahmaputra River in the lower course. The river is known as the Wong in its upper course in Bhutan and then the river traverses through the mountainous terrain in Bhutan and again comes back to the plains in India, in the districts of Jalpaiguri and other nearby localities. After flowing in the Indian subcontinent, the river enters Bangladesh. The Raidak River merges with the Brahmaputra River within the nation limits of Bangladesh. The confluence takes place at the chainage of 327 km. An important tributary of the Raidak River is River Torso. The Torso River originates from the Chambi Valley of Tibet and it is known as the Machu in this region. The river then travels through Bhutan as Amo and then again enters India, Bangladesh and finally meets the Raidak River.
