Overview : The  Indo-Gangetic Plain , also known as the  North Indian River Plain , is a 0.70-million  km 2  (172-million- acre ) fertile  plain  encompassing northern regions of the  Indian subcontinent , including most of northern and eastern  India , the eastern parts of  Pakistan , virtually all of  Bangladesh  and southern plains of  Nepal .  The region is named after the  Indus  and the  Ganges  rivers and encompasses a number of large urban areas. The plain is bound on the north by the  Himalayas , which feed its numerous rivers and are the source of the fertile  alluvium  deposited across the region by the two river systems. The southern edge of the plain is marked by the  Chota Nagpur Plateau . On the west rises the  Iranian Plateau . Many developed cities like  Kolkata ,  Delhi ,  Karachi  and  Dacca  are located in the Indo-Gangetic Plain...

 History  : Most of the area occupied by present-day Shimla city was dense forest during the 18th century. The only civilisation was the  Jakhu Temple  and a few scattered houses.  The area was called 'Shimla', named after a  Hindu goddess ,  Shyamala Devi , an incarnation of  Kali . The area of present-day Shimla was invaded and captured by Bhimsen Thapa of Nepal in 1806. The British East India Company took control of the territory as per the Sugauli Treaty after the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–16). The Gurkha leaders were quelled by storming the fort of Malaun under the command of David Ochterlony in May 1815. In a diary entry dated 30 August 1817, the Gerard brothers, who surveyed the area, describe Shimla as "a middling-sized village where a fakir is situated to give water to the travellers". In 1819, Lieutenant Ross, the Assistant Political Agent in the Hill States, set u...

  What is National Park ? National parks are areas that aim to protect the natural environment. They are also involved in public recreation and enjoyment activities. In a national park, the landscapes and its flora and fauna are present in their natural state. India is rich in biodiversity. It comprises about 7.6% mammals, 6.2% reptiles, 12.6% birds, and 6.0% flowering plant species under the Indomalayan ecozone. Many eco-regions of our country like Shola forests exhibit high rates of endemism. The forests cover over the ranges from the tropical rainforest, the Western Ghats, and Northeast India to the coniferous forests in the Himalayan region. The significant terrestrial ecosystem coming along the Indomalayan ecozone consists of temperate, polar, wet, dry regions for different kind of species to live. The species include elephant, tiger, cobra, crocodile, apes, sambar deer, spotted deer, rhinoceros, goats, lions along with different types of flora and faunas. Indian wil...

Deccan Plateaus : The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in western and southern India. It rises to 100 metres (330 ft) in the north, and to more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) in the south, forming a raised triangle within the south-pointing triangle of the Indian coastline. It extends over eight Indian states and encompasses a wide range of habitats, covering significant parts of Telangana, Maharashtra,  Karnataka ,  Andhra Pradesh , Tamil Nadu . The plateau is located between two mountain ranges, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, each of which rises from its respective nearby coastal plain, and almost converge at the southern tip of India. It is separated from the Gangetic plain to the north by the Satpura and Vindhya Ranges, which form its northern boundary. The Deccan produced some of the major dynasties in Indian history including Pallavas, Satavaha...

  Arid & Semi - Zone : A tropical arid and semi-arid climate dominates regions where the rate of moisture loss through evapotranspiration exceeds that from precipitation; it is subdivided into three climatic subtypes: tropical semi-arid steppe, arid climate, tropical and sub-tropical steppe climate. 1) A tropical semi-arid steppe climate (Hot semi-arid climate) predominates over a long stretch of land south of Tropic of Cancer and east of the Western Ghats and the Cardamom Hills. The region, which includes Karnataka, inland Tamil Nadu, western Andhra Pradesh, and central Maharashtra, gets between 400–750 millimetres (15.7–29.5 in) annually. It is drought-prone, as it tends to have less reliable rainfall due to sporadic lateness or failure of the southwest monsoon. Karnataka is divided into three zones – coastal, north interior and south interior. Of these, the coastal zone receives the heaviest rainfall with an average rain...

Himalayan Mountains Complex  The Himalayas, or Himalaya are a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. The range has some of the planet's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. Over 100 peaks exceeding 7,200 m (23,600 ft) in elevation lie in the Himalayas. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia (Aconcagua, in the Andes) is 6,961 m (22,838 ft) tall. The Himalayas abut or cross five countries: Bhutan,  India ,  Nep al ,  China , and  Pakistan . The sovereignty of the range in the  Kashmir  region is disputed between India, Pakistan, and China.  The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the  Karakoram  and  Hindu Kush  ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the  Indo-Gangetic Plain . Some of the world's major  rivers , the...

  Geography of India  The geography of India is extremely diverse, with landscape ranging from snow-capped mountain ranges to deserts, plains, hills and plateaus. India comprises most of the Indian subcontinent situated on the Indian Plate, the northerly portion of the Indo-Australian Plate. Having a coastline of over 7,000 km (4,300 miles), most of India lies on a peninsula in southern Asia that protrudes into the Indian Ocean. India is bounded in the southwest by the Arabian Sea and in the southeast by the Bay of Bengal. The fertile Indo-Gangetic plain occupies most of northern, central and eastern India, while the Deccan Plateau occupies most of southern India. To the west of the country is the Thar Desert, which consists of a mix of rocky and sandy desert. India's east and northeastern border consists of the high Himalayan range. The h...
