North Bengal plains

The North Bengal plains start from the south of Terai region and continue up to the left bank of the Ganges. The southern parts of the Jalpaiguri, North Dinajpur (baring some extreme northern regions), South Dinajpur, Malda and Cooch Behar districts constitute this geographical region. The narrow land mass in the North Dinajpur district is known as Mahananda corridor. This corridor runs north to south joining Malda with the plains of Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and Cooch Behar. The entire part of North and South Dinajpur is silt laden plain.
