Rivers, lakes & waterways

The town's geography is defined by the **Amo Chhu** (known as the Torsa River as it flows into West Bengal, India). The river flows rapidly out of the Himalayan foothills and courses through the western edge of Phuentsholing. It is a vital natural resource and a defining scenic feature of the region. During the monsoon season, the river swells significantly, bringing vital water to the downstream plains.
