Known for its canyon, which one source describes as almost as extensive as the canyon of its parent the Abay,[1] also known as the Blue Nile, the river originates just west of Kutaber in the Amhara Region.

Flowing first in a northwesterly direction to where the Tergiya empties into it, it then heads southwest to its confluence with the Abay.
