 Kotari Dun range is in between Khoh River and Patali Dun, Atkinson stated that there were mainly Sal trees. By 1880, there was dense forest in Kotari dun region as there were no roads for reaching there from human settlement regions. Due to Government conservative policies, new plants were also there.

                            Block number 3 and 4 Forests

  Atkinson stated about this region as –

The region between Khoh River and Ravasan Rivers was spread for 16 square miles. It was assumed that in past, it was agriculture land. There was water shortage in southern part. By 1880, 80% sal trees were cut. There were Tun and Sal trees nearby Malan bank. New Sal plantation was growing at south-east of the said blocks. There were Bahera, Sain and Haldu trees in abundance in the region. However, main export was for bamboo logs.
