The upper sources of Narayani River are the Kali Gandaki River and Trisuli River in the Himalayas of Nepal. Narayani River flows through central Nepal towards northern India. After two rivers merge the first section is called Trisulganga. It flows southeast, enters India, turns southwest & flows into the Ganga (Ganges) on the opposite bank of Patna. — Devidatta Rokaya/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0
