The western boundary is formed by the streams of the river Ganga, beyond which lies the four districts of Dehradun, Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar and Meerut. To the north and north-east is Garhwal, which runs from Haridwar along the foot of the Himalayas to Ramanagara, Haldwani and Tanakpur. This road, is called as the Kandi Saradk. On the east is the Phika river , separating this district from Nainital and Moradabad; and to the south lie the Thakurdwara, Amroha, and Hasanpur tehsils of Moradabad, the boundary being determined by its natural features.

Historically district Bijnor is related to Mahabharat due to presence Vidur kuti in Bijnori which lie at a distance of 12 km from Bijnor.Born of a maid-servant and fathered by Mahrishi Vyasa, the author of the Vedas and the Puranas, Indian myths have it that Vidur was none other than the reincarnation of the Dharmaraja Yama, the God of Death. A half-brother to Pandu (father of the Pandavas) and Dhritharashtra (father of the Kauravas), Vidur spent his rest of life after dispute with Duryodhan. This is the place where Lord Krishana visited. Kanva Ashram is an ashram in broken condition near Rawli town according to the great legend "Abhigyan Shakuntalam". Hastinapur’s King Dushyant reached there while hunting and fell in love with Shakuntala at first sight. During mahabharat when the battle between Kauravas and Pandavas was about to begin, then on the request of both the sides, all wives and children were to be guardianed by Mahatma Vidur. He had no sufficient space for their living then he decided an exclusive area for ladies and children, which is now known as Daranagar.Daranagar was established on the bank of ganga river. Ganj is 12 km from District HQ and just 1 km from Daranagar on the banks of the Ganges. There are ancient temples and ashrams.

Bridge of Bairaj-  It is also called as "Madhya Ganga Barrage" constructed in 1984. Earlier there was no bridge at Ganga and a temporary boat-bridge was built in winter season every year and that used to be only link with Meerut and Muzaffarnagar. Construction of this barrage has greatly facilitated the journey to Muzaffarnagar, Meerut and Delhi. People come here with some religious point of view on the day of ganga snan and for kids its the perfect place as it is approximately 13 km from city so they come here and enjoy .
