The Parbati ( English Parvati River ) is an approximately 80 km long left tributary of the Beas in the state of Himachal Pradesh in northwest India .
It rises in the Himalayas on the Mantalai Glacier in the Great Himalayan National Park, not far from the Pin Parbati La pass . It flows in a westerly direction through the Parbatital in the Kullu district, which is named after it . The right tributaries Dibibokri , Tichu , Tos and Malana drain the glaciated mountain region to the north. The small town of Manikaran lies on the lower reaches . Finally, the Parbati meets the Beas flowing in from the north near Bhuntar , 10 km south of the district capital Kullu . The Parbati is considered to be the “tributary” of the Beas, although it is the richer river.
