===Chure mountain=== On the north side of the district from east to west is the mountain range known as the [[Sivalik Hills]]. They have an average height of {{convert|900|m}}, reaching {{convert|1350|m}} in places. This range separates the [[Terai]] from the inner Terai and harbours the fossilised remains of many mammals no longer typical of Eurasia.<ref name="Chure Range">{{cite web|website=nepaltourtravels.com|title=Geography of Nepal|url=http://nepaltourtravels.com/nepal/geography-of-nepal.html|access-date=2013-12-12}}</ref> [[File:Hills of Terai.jpg|thumb|Chure mountain]]

The height of the region is from {{Convert|150 to 300|m|ft}}. The [[Mahendra Highway]] touches this area, so settlement is increasing.

Irrigation is problematic in the area.<ref name="geographical divison"/>
===Terai region=== The Terai region, plains, forms the southernmost part of Nepal and goes to India's [[Bihar]]. Since ancient times, the region has had large public density and is a good place for farming, so it is called Treasurer of grain.<ref name="geographical divison"/>

These small rivulets are the Hariwan khola, the Dhungre khola, the Soti khola, the Sotraha khola, the Chapini khola, the Pathlaiya khola, he Kalinjor khola, the Phooljor khola and the Banke Khola.
