'''Bhaba Nagar''', also known as Sungra or some times as Bawa Nagar, is a [[town]] in [[Himachal Pradesh]], arranged between Taranda and [[Nathpa Jhakri Dam]], on the left bank of [[Satluj]] around 12&nbsp;km downstream from [[Wangtu]].<br />
<br />
The township, previously known as Sungra or Pashke, was settled to oblige the workers of Bhaba hydroelectric plant by [[Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board]] also known as Sanjay Jal Vidyut Pariyojana. The town is now de facto headquarter of [[Nichar]] tehsil of the district [[Kinnaur]]. <ref> https://hpkinnaur.nic.in/about-district/whos-who/ </ref><br />
<br />
Bhaba Nagar (or Sungra) is neighboured by villages such as Kangos, Kache, [[Nichar]], Thanang, Ponda, Bari, Baro, Nigulsari and Taranda on the left bank of Satluj. And on the right bank of Satluj the town is neighboured by villages namely Gharshu, Nathpa, Kachrang, Rockcharang, Kamba, Rupi, Shorang and Salaring.<br />
