Bhabhar




Bhbahar is a level surface zone at the foothills of the Himalayas 34 km wide where the Himalayan rivers and streams disappear under boulders and gravels due to the porous soil and sub-soil composition of Bhabhar. As a result, the underground water level is very deep in this region.

Being at the junction point of Himalayas and the Indo-Gangetic Plain, Bhabhar contains almost all the important trade and commerce hubs of Uttaranchal . Due to the top-soil replenishment every Monsoon , is also a very fertile area with significant yields per unit area.

South of Bhabhar lies the alluvial stretch called the Terai .
