The Brahmaputra Valley, also called the Assam Valley, is a lowland region of Assam in northeastern India, lying between ranges of the eastern Himalayas and stretching about 600 kilometers northeast to southwest with a width of roughly 80 kilometers across some 71,516 square kilometers. The Brahmaputra River flows the length of the valley before entering Bangladesh, where it joins the Ganges to form the world's largest river delta on its way to the Bay of Bengal. The valley's alluvial soils are among the most productive in the world and support a rainforest-like climate, and by the 2011 census it held about 27.58 million people, making it the more populous and developed part of Assam.
