Many major rivers join the Ganga which includes the Yamuna, the Ghaghara, the Gandak and the Kosi. the river Yamuna emerges from the Yamunotri Glacier in the Himalayas. It meets the Ganga at Allahabad at the right bank.
The Ghaghara, the Gandak and the Kosi rise in the Nepal Himalaya. The tributaries which come from the peninsular uplands include the Chambal, the Betwa and the Son.These rivers do not carry much water in them.The Ganga flows eastwards till Farakka in West Bengal. this is the northernmost point of the Ganga delta.
