The Lohit River is a tributary of the Brahmaputra and flows through Arunachal Pradesh before entering Assam. The Subansiri River, also a major tributary of the Brahmaputra, originates in Tibet and flows through Arunachal Pradesh into Assam. The Barak River, however, flows through the state of Manipur and then enters Bangladesh, not Arunachal Pradesh.
