The Rangeet River is a tributary of the Teesta River, the largest river in the Indian state of Sikkim. The river begins its course from the Himalayan Mountains in West Sikkim district. A perpetual river, Rangeet is fed by the melting snow of the Himalayas in early summer, and the monsoon rains in July-August. It is loved place among rafting enthusiasts because of its turbulent waters. The convoluted river joins the Teesta at Teesta Bazaar on the periphery of West Bengal and Sikkim. During its final few kilometres, it forms the boundary between these two states.
Rangeet River has the NHPC hydel plant of 60 MW capacities. The river flows past the towns of Pelling, Jorethang and Legship.
