Indo-Gangetic Plain

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal

The Indo-Gangetic Plain shares 61 connections with 3620 places across 10 topics, spanning river systems and alluvial geology to the British Raj and early Buddhist history. Nature connections dominate, built from deposits of the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra rivers forming the world's largest expanse of uninterrupted alluvium. History connections, many tied to India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, reflect the plain's role as a crossroads of South Asian empires. The region ties to sites linked to the Shakya tribe, placing it within the early geographic world of the Buddha.
