Geographically, it consists of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta system, the largest river delta in the world and a section of the Himalayas up to Nepal and Bhutan. Dense woodlands, including hilly rainforests, cover Bengal's northern and eastern areas, while an elevated forested plateau covers its central area; the highest point is at Sandakphu.

Bangali River
The Bangali River ( bn, বাঙালি নদী) is one of the main rivers in the northern part of Bangladesh (commonly known as North Bengal). As of 2007, the river is in the news because of the possibility that it might merge with the Jamuna River, which could lead to major changes in the geography of the region. Etymology In the later part of the 18th century, movements against the British Raj erupted in North Bengal. Two of the major centers of the '' Fakir-Sanyasi Rebellion'' were Bogra District and Rangpur, located on two sides of the Bangali River. Whether this was the reason that prompted the name Bangali (the people of Bengal) is still unknown. Geography The Bangali River originates as a distributary of Teesta River in Nilphamari District. The river flows as the ''Ghaghot'' River from its source to Gaibandha, where it splits into two branches —one moves towards the west as the "Ghaghot" and empties into the Karatoya River at Sherpur, Bogra District; ...
