Trisuli River

The Trisuli river flows from Gosainkund where according to legend it is believed that Lord Shiva released the waters of the holy lakes with his trident (trishul). After its first confluence to the Mahesh khola, Trisuli River follows the Trisuli valley to Mugling and later again in confluence with the Marshyangdi rivers, this large river thus formed flows South to become the Narayani river.
