The Brahmaputra is a major stream of Central and South Asia, having a total length of about 2,900 km (1,800 miles), and is called Tsang-po in Tibetan, Ya-Lu-Tsang-Pu Chiang in Chinese and Jamuna in Bengali. From its headstream in the Himalayas of Tibet, it flows castward for nearly 1,130 km (700 miles) across south-western China, then turns south through the eastern Himalayas and enters the States of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam (north-east India). The Brahmaputra takes a south-westely course for about 725 km (450 miles) through the Assam Valley, then turns south again, passing through Bangladesh to Bay of Bengal, where it forms with The Ganga and Meghna rivers, a vast delta.
