Ganges

The River Ganges is a major river in northern India. It originates as the Bhagirathi from the Gangotri Glacier. Then on, the Ganges flows across the large plains of North India and empties into the Bay of Bengal after dividing up into many distributaries.
The total length of the river is about 2,507km (1,558 mi). One of the densest human population belts on earth is built around the Ganges.
The region encompassing the delta near the Bay of Bengal coast is known as The Sundarbans (Beautiful Forests) – a region of thick mangrove forests, and one of the major habitats of the Royal Bengal tiger.
