Mangde Chhu river flows in central Bhutan traversing roughly north-south. It becomes the Manas River as it enters Indian territory in Assam. It exits Bhutan near Gaylrgphug, also called Hathisar on Indian side. The road from Hathisar to Tongsa Djong follows the banks of this river. Important areas through which the road passes are Surey rice fields, Bataase, Taama, Shamgong before reaching Tongsa. The road and bridges were built by the Indian Border Roads Organisation. Among the number of bridges built across this river, two are noteworthy. They are the Bailey suspension bridges of about 360 feet span, one near Hathisar and the other at Tama built between 1963 and 1965.
