The Bhabar region is a narrow belt situated along the foot of the Shiwaliks in the Himalayas. Streams descending from the mountains lose velocity here and deposit coarse sediments like pebbles and boulders, causing them to disappear underground due to the porosity of the deposits.

This deposition of heavy materials is a characteristic feature of the Bhabar plain.

South of Bhabar lies the Terai, a wet, marshy plain where the streams re-emerge. Further south are the alluvial plains, classified into Bhangar (older alluvium, above flood level) and Khadar (newer alluvium, in floodplains).
