• The Yamuna River forms Haryana's eastern border with Uttar Pradesh. Near the kalesar forest in the Yamunanagar district, the Yamuna enters Haryana.
• It runs through the districts of Yamunanagar, Karnal, Panipat, and Sonipat before exiting Haryana near Hasanpur in Faridabad.
• The Yamuna originates in Uttarkashi's Bundar Poonch glaciers and rises in the Himalayas at Jamnotri.
• Water Tons flows through the Himachal Pradesh's border in the west of Tehri Garhwal district, joining the river at Kalsi and then entering the plains.

• The Yamuna is the Ganga's second-largest tributary and India's longest. It begins at a height of 6,387 metres on the southwestern slopes of the Banderpooch peaks of the Lower Himalaya in Uttarakhand and flows for 1,376 kilometres, draining 366,223 square kilometres, or 40.2 percent of the Ganga Basin.
• It joins the Ganga at Prayagraj's Triveni Sangam, which hosts the Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival held every 12 years.
