Ghorua covers an area of approximately 7.3 square kilometres.[2] It shares its borders with several neighbouring villages, including Kusarmohal, Srirampur, Srirai Nagar, and Rakha. The Manu River flows adjacent to the village, providing both natural beauty and agricultural support to the area.[7][8]
