Ganga Jamuni is located about 1.5 km from the Kali Nadi river, on the bank of a smaller tributary stream called the Ganga Jamuni Nala. The Ganga Jamuni Nala has now dried up due to the construction of the Grand Trunk Road national highway to the north of the village. There is an archaeological site associated with the Ochre Coloured Pottery culture north of the highway, across from the village. The ancient inhabitants of the site could have used the Kali Nadi floodplain, or the area along the Ganga Jamuni Nala, for agriculture.^{[2]: 253, 278}
