The Jungle Bar (Urdu: جنگل بار) is a region between the rivers Chenab and Ravi in Punjab, Pakistan.[1] It is located in the southern part of Rechna Doab. "Bar", in the local language, means a forested area where there are no resources for cultivation, like water. This Bar is named due to the area's jungle forested area.
