It rises near Khuangphah village of Champhai district in Mizoram, India. It ultimately merges with the Kaladan River (Chhimtuipui river).[2]

The twin towns of Zokhawthar in Mizoram and Rikhawdar in Chin State are on the banks of the river. There is an official border crossing between the two towns.[3]
