The Bata river originates in the boulders below the Nahan ridge in the South-Western corner of Himachal Pradesh as the Jalmusa-Ka-Khala. It is mainly fed by the rainwater that is cycled as underground water before finally coming up on the surface as a spring. The river flows below the surface for a part of its length in its upper reaches, thereafter the water flows on the surface. Large and wide terraces were naturally formed by it. The small tributaries that flow by and join the Bata River in the Paonta valley are Khara-Ka-Khala, which flows in a Southerly direction from the Nahan ridge, and Kanser-Khala that originates from the Southern slopes of the Nahan.
