Bhabar is a narrow belt that lies parallel to the Shiwalik range in the northern plains of India. It is formed as a result of the deposition of pebbles, etc. by rivers that come down from the mountains. The width of this belt is about 8 to 16 km, and it runs in an east to west direction along the foot of the Shiwalik range of the Himalayas. This belt is extensive in the western and north-western hilly region and comparatively narrow in the eastern hilly region. The sediments present in the soil of Bhabar plains are deposited by the rivers that descend from the Himalayan mountains. This belt is not suitable for any agricultural activities, and big trees are found in this belt.
