Responds to Information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
The sacred river of India is called the Ganges. The Ganges is one of the longest (2700 km) and full-flowing rivers in South Asia. Its source is the Gangotri Glacier. In the Western Himalayas, it begins its journey and flows into the Bay of Bengal, and together with the Brahmaputra and Meghna forms the Ganges delta of the Brahmaputra.

In the mythology of the inhabitants of India, the Ganges is sacred. Since ancient times, there was a myth that the river descended right from heaven. According to legend, the river is able to cleanse and remove sins. And Ganga - her goddess, personifies motherhood and mediation between the worlds. It's not surprising that the flow of tourists does not run out here ever.

The fauna of the Bengal tigers, elephants, rhinoceroses, lions, tigers, bears, lynxes, leopards and many others amazes with its splendor.
