Only between the north-eastern extremity of the desert and the foot of the Himālayas below Simla is there an easy gateway into India. No river traverses this gateway, which is on the divide between the systems of the Indus and the Jumna-Ganges. Delhi stands on the west bank of the Jumna at the northern extremity of the Arāvallis, just where the invading forces from the north-west came through to the navigable waters.
