\nHimachal Pradesh is part of the Ganga Basin.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Ganga basin is the largest river basin in India, draining areas in several states of North and East India, as well as parts of Nepal and Bangladesh.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile Himachal Pradesh is known for rivers of the Indus system (Sutlej, Ravi, Beas), its southern slopes drain into the Yamuna River, which is a major tributary of the Ganga. Therefore, parts of Himachal Pradesh fall within the Ganga basin (specifically the Yamuna sub-basin). Sikkim is part of the Brahmaputra basin. Assam is primarily in the Brahmaputra basin. Odisha is drained by rivers like Mahanadi, Brahmani, Baitarani, etc., and is not part of the Ganga basin.
