On the Tibetan side it is drained by Rongbuk and Kangshung Glaciers and on the Nepali side by Barun, Ngojumba and Khumbu Glaciers and others. All are tributaries to the Kosi River via Arun River on the north and east or Dudh Kosi on the south.Mahalangur Himal can be divided into three subsections:Makālu (Nepali: मकालु) nearest the Arun River and along the Nepal-Tibet border including Makalu 8463m, Chomo Lonzo 7790m in Tibet, Kangchungtse or Makalu II 7678m, Peak 7199 and some ten others over 6000 meters.Barun (Nepali: बरुण) inside Nepal and south of the Makālu section.
