Nepal's major rivers are the Kosi(In the east), The Narayani(In Central Nepal), and the Karnali(In the West). These three major rivers in Nepal eventually feed into the Ganges River in India. The Indian Ocean bring monsoons to the Sub-Himalayan regions between June and September, which gives Nepal a lot of rain.
In Nepal, the large middle section is often called the hill region. It has forested hills, several complex mountain ranges, and flat valleys. To the South lies the Terai. Those are the subtropical jungles that form the Northern Rim of the gigantic plain. In the North are the Himalayan Mountains, that reach some of the highest peaks in the world.
