Une rivière aux mille histoires

From the majestic Himalayas, where snow-covered peaks touch the skies, the great Ganges River begins its journey. Flowing from the mountain regions near Nepal and northern India, its waters travel through valleys, plains, crowded cities, and rural villages before finally reaching the sea and beyond.
