Ganges is a nature documentary television series focusing on the natural history of the River Ganges in India and Bangladesh. The series highlights the diverse array of animals and habitats found along the river's 2,510 km (1,557 mi) course, as well as the cultures, traditions, and religions of the large human population that relies on it. The Ganges is a sacred river and pilgrimage site for Hindus, deeply influencing their religion and culture, while also serving as a vital resource. The three-episode series follows the river from its source in the high Himalaya to its delta at the Bay of Bengal.
