All else being equal, plains will usually have a higher population density than hilly or mountainous terrain for several reasons:

Flat land is easier to farm. While there are some impressive terraced fields in the world, they took centuries to build, and they're susceptible to natural disasters. Flat land can be plowed easily.Transport is cheaper. Fewer ups and downs means less energy is expended on transporting goods, especially when using wheels. Rivers are likely to be broad, shallow, and slow-flowing, facilitating trade up- and downstream.Moderate drainage keeps water in the soil longer, helping crops to grow. Steep topography is almost synonymous with high drainage.Moderately high population density and few barriers to travel lead to greater political organization. States can muster resources for hydraulic projects beyond the reach of small and isolated mountain communities.

Population density is high in the Ganga plains:

  • The Ganga plains are located in the region of northern plains and the land or soil of this plain is very fertile for agriculture.
  • Due to the high level of fertility, the farmer population is settled in this region.
  • Soil of this region is alluvial soil brought by the rivers like Ganga and Yamuna from the Himalayas.
  • First of all, more than enough supply of water due to Ganga River, and highly rich in deposits of minerals and fertile soil making the Ganga Plains area with a high density of population.
