Bhabhar refers to a specific physiographic region and geological formation located in the Indian subcontinent. It is characterized by its position between the Himalayan foothills and the Indo-Gangetic plains, specifically situated at the base of the Siwalik hills.
The terrain is primarily composed of alluvial deposits and is typically marked by undulating landforms. Because it serves as a transition zone between mountains and plains, the area often features distinct drainage patterns and diverse vegetation compared to the surrounding lowlands or highlands.
