About the Imja Khola River
The Imja Khola river starts high up in the mountains. Its source is the Imja Glacier, which is a large body of ice. As the glacier melts, it feeds water into the river. The river then flows downwards until it joins the Dudh Kosi river near a place called Tengboche.
Where the River Flows
The Imja Khola river flows through the Khumbu region of Nepal. This area is known for its stunning mountain views and challenging treks. Many adventurers and hikers follow the river's path on their way to the base camp of Mount Everest. The river's journey takes it through different landscapes, from icy glaciers to green forests.

These trees are famous for their bright, colorful flowers, especially in spring. The area is also home to various wildlife, though they can be shy.
