Markanda River

Markanda, a tributary of theYamuna River, is a small river of Nahan area, in the Sirmaur District, Himachal Pradesh. After leaving Himachal Pradesh, the river flows through Haryana.

It originates from the southern face of the lower Himalayas on the western extremity in the Paonta Valley. This rain-fed river has very low flow in the winters and summers, but during monsoon the water level rises abruptly.
