Three major rivers and their tributaries flow in the Northern Plains.
The Punjab Plains are formed by the River Indus and its tributaries. The main tributaries are the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas and the Satluj which start from the Himalayas.
The Ganga Plains lie between the Ghaggar and Teesta rivers. It extends over the states of Haryana, Delhi, U.P., Bihar, a part of Jharkhand and West Bengal. The Ganges and its tributaries feed the Ganges Plains. The Ganges river begins at the Gangotri Glacier in the State of Uttarakhand in the central Himalayas and drains into the Bay of Bengal.
The Brahmaputra Plains are fed by the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries.
