It rises from the Man Talai Glacier below the Pin Parbati Pass and flows in a gradual curve from north-northwest to west-southwest past the important temple town of Manikaran.
The river has fine first-growth forests in its upper reaches which are being degraded as a consequence of development of its vast hydro-electric potential.
There are geothermal springs on the banks of the river at Manikaran and Kheerganga.
