Continuing through the Nanda Devi National Park, it flows into the Dhauliganga River near the village Rini.

Flash flood on February 7 in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, claimed at least 72 lives with at least 200 missing.

This impact pulverised the combination of rock, snow and ice, causing a rapid flow downstream of Raunthi Garh and into the Rishiganga valley leading to the deluge.

There was no evidence of a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) having caused the event.

A glacial break in the Tapovan-Reni area of Chamoli District of Uttarakhand led to massive flash flood in Dhauli Ganga and Alaknanda Rivers, damaging houses and the nearby Rishiganga power project.
