Geography[edit]
The ancient village is located almost 390 kilometres from Delhi, and about 80 kilometres from Amritsar. Tibba is named after a word of Punjabi "Tibba", means a higher place. It has river Beas near it & many coordinating canals. All the water from these canals & river normally overflow in the rainy season & Village tibba called mainly "tibba" as it is a higher place safer from all that. In the later sixties, an advance Bandh was built to protect this area from unwanted over flow. It is located on Goindwal sahib -Hussainpur link, 12 km from Rail Coach Factory (RCF) Kapurthala. Also 14 km from historical Gurdwara Ber Sahib Ji Sultanpur Lodhi.
