Description: From glacial headwaters high in the Himalaya to the lowland plains of Chitwan, the Gandak, known in Nepal as the Narayani, carves one of South Asia's most remarkable journeys. This book follows the river through its many names and cultures, the deep geological history preserved in its gorges and fossil-bearing stones, and the tributaries that swell it along the way. Along the banks, you'll meet the communities whose livelihoods depend on its waters and discover the wildlife and wetlands that thrive in its basin. It also examines the dams and diversions that have reshaped the river and closes with practical guidance for travelers hoping to experience it firsthand.
