Wiki.
Ganges is a nature documentary series for television on the natural history of the River Ganges in India and Bangladesh. It showcases the variety of animals and habitats that are to be found along the river's 2,510 km (1,557 mi) reach, as well as the cultures, traditions and religions of the large human population that it supports. For Hindus, the Ganges is a sacred river and a place of pilgrimage, and it holds a deep influence on their religion and culture as well as being their lifeblood. Over the course of three episodes, the series is presented as a journey from the source of the river in the high Himalaya to its delta at the Bay of Bengal.
Ganges is narrated by actor/playwright Sudha Bhuchar and produced by the BBC Natural History Unit, in association with the Travel Channel and France 3. The series producer is Ian Gray. It was first broadcast on BBC Two in August 2007 and formed part of the BBC's "India and Pakistan '07" season, marking the 60th anniversary of independence from British rule and the partitioning of India and Pakistan.
The format was previously used by the BBC for earlier documentary series on the world's major river systems, including Congo (2001) and Nile (2004).
