The Indrawati is a right tributary of the Sunkoshi in the Sindhupalchok district of Nepal .
The Indrawati rises on the southern slope of a mountain range which closes off the Langtang Khola river valley to the south . The headwaters of the river are located within the Langtang National Park . The Indrawati is fed by numerous glaciers. It flows in a predominantly southern direction through the Sindhupalchok district. At the village of Melamchi , the Melamchi Khola meets the river from the right. At Bansbari the Indrawati turns to the south-southeast. It passes Bhimtar and maintains its direction of flow over a length of 20 km to its mouth.
