Draining the Central parts of Nepal, Gandak River rises in the Nepal Himalayas between Dhaulagiri and Mt. Everest. It enters the Great Plains of India in Champaran District of Bihar, and turning south-east, it joins the Ganga River at Sonpur opposite the city of Patna. This river also changes its course frequently.
