The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon or Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon (Chinese: 雅鲁藏布大峡谷) or simply the Tsangpo Canyon or Tsangpo Gorge, along the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, China, is regarded by some as the deepest canyon in the world, and is slightly longer than the Grand Canyon, making it one of the world's largest.[1] The Yarlung Tsangpo (Tibetan name for the upper course of the Brahmaputra) originates near Mount Kailash and running east for about 1700 km drains a northern section of the Himalayas before its enters the gorge near downstream of Pei, Tibet near the settlement of Zhibe. The canyon has a length of about 150 miles (240 km) as the gorge bends around Mount Namcha Barwa (7782 m) and cuts its way through the eastern Himalayan range. Its waters drop from about 2,900 m near Pei to about 1,500 m at the end of the Upper Gorge where the Po Tsangpo River enters. The river continues through the Lower Gorge to the border at an elevation of 660 m. The river then enters Arunachal Pradesh, India, and eventually becomes the Brahmaputra.
