The Thuli Bheri ( Nepali जोगमाई नदी , "Great Bheri") is the right source river of the Bheri in Nepal .
The river arises in the Dolpo Himal in the municipality of Chharka ( Dolpa district ), where it is fed by a glacier . The river initially flows in a westerly direction, later it turns south and finally west again. The Thuli Bheri flows through the south of the Dolpa district. It passes the district capital Dunai . Then it takes the Suligad , the outflow of the Phoksundo lake , on the right side. In the lower reaches the Thuli Bheri turns to the southwest and forms the border between the districts of Jajarkot in the west and Rukum in the east. Finally, it unites with the Sani Bheri, who is coming from the east, to form the Bheri.
The Thuli Bheri forms the northern boundary of the Dhaulagiri Himal , which extends in the west to the Sisne Himal . The Kanjiroba Himal extends north of the central river course . The river has a length of about 200 km. The catchment area covers about 7000 km².
