The Marshyangdi (or Marsyangdi) (Nepali: मर्स्याङ्दी, marśyāṅdī) is a mountain river in Nepal. Its length is about 150 km (93 mi).
The Marshyangdi begins at the confluence of two mountain rivers, the Khangsar Khola and the Jharsang Khola, northwest of the Annapurna massif at an altitude of 3,600 meters near Manang village. The Marshyangdi flows eastward through Manang District and then southward through Lamjung District.
The Marshyangdi joins the Trishuli river near Mugling as one of its tributaries.[1]
The beginning of the Annapurna Circuit trekking route follows the Marshyangdi river valley.[2]
