These rivers are again subdivided into two groups. Trans Himalayan and Himalayan. The Trans-Himalayan Rivers originate beyond the Great Himalayas. These are the Indus, the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra rivers. Himalayan rivers are those which originate in the Himalayas and flow through the Northern Plains, e.g., the Ganga, the Yamuna and their tributaries. These rivers are useful for irrigation and navigation and the lowlands drained by them have fertile alluvial deposits.
Situated to the north of Ladakh range and Kailash Range, it rises near the Mansarover Lake at an altitude of 5,180 metres. It enters the Indian Territory in Jammu and Kashmir where it receives Himalayan tributaries such as the Gartang, Zaskar, Dras, Shyok, Shigar, Nubra, GilgitandHuza.
The Brahmaputra rises in the glacier about 100 kms south east of Mansarower Lake. In Tibet it is known as Tsangpo and runs parallel to the Himalayas. Its two important tributaries Dehang and Luhit meet near Sadiya. Its tributaries are the Subansiri, the Kameng. The Tista, and Manas on the right bank and Burri Dihang, Disang, Kapila and Dhansiri on left bank.
The Ganga rises in the Up Himalayas (now in the state of Uttaranchal). The river acquires its name after its head-streams – Alaknanda and Bhagirathi unite at Devaprayag. Right bank tributaries of the Ganga in the region of the plain include the Yamuna and the Son besides the minor streams of the Tons and the Purpun.
