The Gandaki is a river in Nepal.
It is one among the Ganges' tributaries, flowing southward from Nepal and entering the Ganges near Patna in the state of Bihar.
Although the river's source is currently exceedingly impoverished, it formerly housed important urban centers, notably the city of Vaishali, during the Buddha's time.
