The Bhabar region is a narrow belt of level surface in the Northern Plain, lying parallel to the slope of the Shiwaliks.
All rivers and streams that disappear in the Bhabar belt resurface in the Terai region. The Terai region consists of wet, swampy and marshy land.
Bhangar, is the largest part of the northern plain and is formed of older alluvium. This region lies above the flood plains of the rivers.
The newer, younger deposits of the flood plains form the fourth region of the Northern Plain called Khadar. The land is fertile, and used extensively for agriculture.
