Question

Give two examples of gorge in north India.

Answer 1

1. Indus Gorge (Ladakh): The Indus River carves out a gorge as it flows through the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. The river flows through steep and narrow valleys in this mountainous region.
2. Brahmaputra Gorge (Arunachal Pradesh, near Namcha Barwa): The Brahmaputra River forms a gorge in the Arunachal Pradesh region near Namcha Barwa, where the river cuts through the Himalayas, creating a deep, steep-sided valley.
