he Northern Plains also known as the Indo - Gangetic Plain and The North Indian River Plain is a large and fertile plain encompassing most of northern and eastern India, the most populous parts of Pakistan, parts of southern Nepal and virtually all of Bangladesh. The region is named after the Indus and the Ganges, the twin river systems that drain it. The plain's population density is very high due to the fertile soil for farming.
Divisions
Some geographers subdivide the Indo-Gangetic Plain into several parts: the Indus Valley, the Punjab Plain, the Haryana Plains, and the middle and lower Ganges. These regional distinctions are based primarily on the availability of water. By another definition, the Indo-Gangetic Plain is divided into two drainage basins by the Delhi Ridge; the western part consists of the Punjab Plain and the Haryana Plain, and the eastern part consists of the Ganges–Brahmaputra drainage systems.
Extent
As a large plain, the exact extent can vary from source to source. Roughly, the Indo-Gangetic Plain stretches across: Kashmir in the north; The Punjab region of Pakistan and the Aravalli Range; Sindh in the west; The Himalayan foothills of Assam and Bangladesh in the east; and the Vindhya- and Satpura Range, and the Chota Nagpur Plateau in the south. Goes to northern portion of Gujarat.
