The Barak River is one of the major rivers of India. The Barak Valley of Assam is named after this river. It rises in the Manipur hills and enters the plains near Lakhipur. Downstream of Silchar town and before entering Bangladesh the Barak bifurcates into the Surma River and the Kushiyara River. The principal tributaries of the Barak in India are the Jirl, the Dhaleshwari, the Singla, the Longai, the Sonai and the Katakhal.
From its source in the Manipur Hills near Mao Songsang, the river is known as the Barak River. It flows west through Manipur State, then southwest leaving Manipur. The principal tributaries of the Barak in India are the Jirl, the Dhaleshwari, the Singla, the Longai, the Sonai and the Katakhal.
In Mizoram State it flows southwest then veers abruptly north when joined by a north flowing stream and flows into Assam State where it turns westward again near Lakipur and flows west past the town of Silchar where it enters Bangladesh.
In the upper part, the river receives a lot of little hill streams, namely, Gumti, Howrah, Kagni, Senai Buri, Hari Mangal, Kakrai, Kurulia, Balujhuri, Shonaichhari and Durduria. Wiki
Barak river originates from a place called Tsiipyo at Liyai Khullen, Senapati District in Manipur state. Barak river is called Avouri in local dialect. There are many folk songs and tales connected to this river.
The source of the river should be mentioned properly while describing the river. It is quite confusing as the source is mentioned as flowing from Manipur hills near Mao Songsang which is quite misleading. Please trace the map from Google and see where it originates.
