The Tamakoshi River (Nepali: तामाकोशी) is part of the Koshi or Sapta Koshi river system in Nepalese Himalayas. It originates from the Rongshar Chu [zh] (or Rongshar Tsangpo) and Lapchi Gang rivers close to the Nepal-Tibet border. It flows in a southern direction through Bagmati Province in Nepal, namely through Dolakha District and Ramechhap District.

Infrastructures

Hydropower

• Just above the confluence of Rolwaling Chu, Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project has been operating since July 2021; currently it is the largest hydroelectric project in Nepal, with a power output equivalent to two-thirds of Nepal's current power generation.
• Down the river in the bank, Khimti Power Plant, which was built between 1996 and 2000 is located in Khimti providing 60 MW from Khimti River.
• Sipring Khola Hydropower Station (10 MW)
