Gandak

Gandak (the Great Gandak; the Little Gandak being an unimportant tributary of the Gogra), a river of India, rises in the Nepal Himalayas, in 30° 56' N. lat. and 79° 7' E. long., flows south-west to British territory, and then south-east, forming for some distance the boundary between the North-west Provinces and Bengal, and enters the Ganges opposite Patna. Its banks rise above the level of the plains it passes through, and inundations are frequent.
