The Mahendra (East-West) Highway touches the Bhabar region of the district, with growing settlement along it. Malangwa lies about 25 km south of Nawalpur off the highway, near the Indian border at Sonbarsa, which has a customs checkpoint.

Humid tropical climate; more than 80% of annual rainfall occurs during the monsoon. The Bhabar middle region has very low groundwater, making water and irrigation difficult there.
