The western boundary of Nepal is defined by the Mahakali River, and even beyond the Mahakali Gorge, the land belongs to Nepal. In the restructuring of the state, the former Chandani and Dodhara VDCs were amalgamated to form the Gabhar Municipality. In close proximity to the northwestern border of Nepal lies the distinctive Annapurna Himalayan range, renowned as the Annapurna massif, standing out as one of the brightest Himalayan formations. Flowing from this Himalayan range, the river earned its name Mahakali, which also became the namesake for this municipality. In India, this river is known as the Sharda River. The tributaries of this river include Tinkar Khola, Chamelia Khola, and Surniyagad Khola. The average annual flow of this river is 730 cubic meters per second, with a total length of 233 kilometers. In Tanakpur, a dam has been constructed on this river, diverting water into India. This dam is known as the Sharda Barrage in India.
