Sandal Bar facts for kids
Sandal Bar (Urdu: ساندل بار) is a special and old area in the Punjab part of Pakistan. It's located right between two important rivers: the Ravi River and the Chenab River. This region stretches out quite a bit, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from east to west and 40 kilometers (25 miles) from north to south.
The word 'Bar' in the local language means a wild, forested place. It's an area where it used to be hard to grow crops because there wasn't much water for farming. Over time, with new ways to bring water, much of Sandal Bar has become rich farmland.
