Ganges is a nature documentary series for television on the natural history of the River Ganges in India and

Bangladesh. As well as the variety of animals and habitats that are to be found along the river’s 2,510 km (1,557 mi)

reach, the programmes also feature the cultures, traditions and religions of the very large human population that it

supports. For Hindus, the Ganges is a sacred river and a place of pilgrimage, a deep influence on their religion and

culture as well as being their lifeblood. Over the course of three episodes, the series is presented as a journey from

the source of the river in the high Himalaya to its delta at the Bay of Bengal.

Ganges is narrated by Sudha Bhuchar and produced by the BBC Natural History Unit, in association with the Travel

Channel and France 3. The series producer is Ian Gray. It was first broadcast on BBC Two in August 2007 and formed part

of the BBC’s “India and Pakistan ‘07” season, marking the 60th anniversary of independence from British rule and

the partitioning of India and Pakistan.

Episodes

[edit] 1. Daughter of the Mountains

The first episode begins at the Gangotri Glacier in the Indian Himalaya, regarded as the true source of the Ganges, and

follows the river 150 miles downstream through the mountain valleys to the edge of the north Indian floodplain and the

holy city of Haridwar.

[edit] 2. River of Life

Beyond the mountains, the fast-flowing river slows and spreads out over the plains, forming a marshy grassland known as

the Terai. Animals featured include the rare Indian rhinoceros and Ganges river dolphin, but on these polluted and

crowded waters their future is certain.

[edit] 3. Waterland

The Ganges eventually flows into the Brahmaputra and drains into the Bay of Bengal via a huge delta. In the coastal

mangroves of the Sundarbans the locals share an uneasy existence with tigers.
