Mo Chhu is a major river in Bhutan . The word Chhu means river or water in Dzongkha , the official national language in Bhutan. The river rises in Gasa District Gasa Dzongkhag district near the border between Bhutan and Tibet. From there, the Mo Chhu flows generally southward to Punakha in central Bhutan, where it joins the Pho Chhu from the northeast. The confluence of the two streams is immediately below the Punakha Dzong , which is the winter home of the Dratshang Lhentshog Central Monk Body and the Je Khenpo . The combined streams are then joined by the Dang Chhu near the town of Wangdue Phodrang , and the name of the river becomes the Puna Tsang Chhu . The river then flows through Dagana District Dagana and Tsirang District s. After leaving Bhutan near the town of Kalikhola , the river enters Assam in India and is known as the Sankosh . The Sankosh ultimately empties into the Brahmaputra .

Sankosh is a river that rises in northern Bhutan and empties into the Brahmaputra in the state of Assam in India . In Bhutan, it is known as the Puna Tsang Chu below the confluences of several tributaries near the town of Wangdue Phodrang . The two largest tributaries are the Mo Chhu and Pho Chhu , which flow together at Punakha . The Punakha dzong, which is situated immediately above the confluence of the two rivers, is one of the most beautiful dzongs in Bhutan and the winter residence of the Central Monk Body . The upper reaches of the Pho Chhu are susceptible to ice blockages, and the dzong has been damaged on several occasions by glacial outburst floods GLOF . At Wangdue Phodrang, altitude 1364 m , the river is joined by the west flowing Dang Chhu and it enters a precipitous gorge. The highway running south from Wangdue Phodrang to Dagana follows the river for much of its course. Near the town of Takshay is the confluence with the west flowing Hara Chhu . The last major Bhutanese tributary is the Daga Chhu .
