Explanation:

Sarda River rises as the Kali River in far northern Uttarakhand state in the Great Himalayas on the eastern slopes of the Nanda Devi massif. The river then flows generally south-southwest, where it constitutes the border between Uttarakhand state and Nepal. Descending from the mountains, it enters the Indo-Gangetic Plain at Barmdeo Mandi (Nepal), widening there above the Sarda Barrage. Below that point it is known as the Sarda River. The Sarda then continues southeastward into India through northern Uttar Pradesh state before joining the Ghaghara River southwest of Bahraich, after a course of about 300 miles (480 km).
