Pokhar is a small village located in the northern part of Nepal, within the district of Sunsari. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 1,000 meters above sea level, in the Terai region, which is known for its fertile plains and diverse wildlife. The village is primarily inhabited by indigenous ethnic groups, including the Tharu and Dalit communities.

The village is known for its agricultural activities, with rice, wheat, and other crops being the primary sources of income for its residents. Pokhar also has a small market where local produce, such as vegetables and fruits, is sold. The village has a basic school that provides education up to the secondary level, and there is a small health post that offers basic medical services.
