The Nardak ("high tract") is a region in western and northern parts of Karnal district in northeastern area of Haryana state of India.
All definitions of this area include Assandh, Nissing and Nilokheri Community Development Blocks (CDB) in western and northern parts of Karnal district, and it ends in the north of Karnal city at Indri where Nardak, Khadir and Bangar areas of Yamuna river basin meet.
[2] Before the re-alignment of the Western Yamuna Canal (WYC), the Nardak area of Karnal comprised about 150,085 acres with 63 villages.
[5] According to Ihsan H. Nadiem, during Indian Rebellion of 1857 the Chauhans of Nardak assisted the British colonials, raised a regiment of cavalry, and provided 20 chowkidars to protect Karnal city and its Civil Lines.
However, the natives of larger villages of area caused much anxiety to Britishers during the mutiny of 1857 - notably Siwan, Asandh, Jalmana, Gondar, Salwan, Bhalla , etc.
