The Himalayan Rivers are the rivers that originate from the Himalayan mountain ranges. These rivers are snow fed; they receive water from the melting ice of the glaciers as well as from the rains. . These three rivers flow towards the West and collectively form the Himalayan River System.

#More Information

  • The Himalayas are drained by 19 major rivers, of which the Indus and the Brahmaputra are the largest, each having catchment basins in the mountains of about 100,000 square miles (260,000 square km) in extent.

  • The Ganges drops down and flows eastward. The Brahmaputra winds its way east, then west and south.
