The '''Rangeet''' or '''Rangit''' is a [[tributary]] of the [[Teesta river]], which is the largest river in the [[India]]n [[states and territories of India|state]] of [[Sikkim]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sikkim.nic.in/sws/glim_riv.htm|title=Rivers|work=sikkim.nic.in}}</ref> The Rangeet river originates in the [[Himalaya]]n mountains in [[West Sikkim]] district. The river also forms the boundary between [[Sikkim]] and [[Darjeeling district]]. A perennial river, it is fed by the melting snow of the Himalayas in early summer and the [[monsoon]] rains in June–September. It is popular among [[rafting]] enthusiasts owing to its turbulent waters. The river flows past the towns of [[Jorethang]], [[Pelling]] and [[Legship]]. During its final few kilometres, it joins the [[Teesta]] River at a confluence<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sikkimtourism.gov.in/Webforms/General/SikkimAtAGlance/Rivers.aspx|title= Welcome to the Official Web Portal of Sikkim Tourism :: Sikkim at a Glance - Natures Bounty - Rivers|work=sikkimtourism.gov.in}}</ref> known as Tribeni,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.darjeeling-tourism.com/darj_00002c.htm|title=Triveni - River Teesta and Rangeet Confluence|author=win7|work=darjeeling-tourism.com}}</ref> which is a popular picnic spot.
