Tandlianwala (Urdu: تاندلیانوالہ) is a town in Punjab, Pakistan. It is located 45 km from the city of Faisalabad and 46 km from Okara. It is a sub-division of Faisalabad District and has a Tehsil municipal administration (TMA).
The Town was established as Mandi (Market) during the colonization of west Punjab. In 1887, it was given the status of sub tehsil and the town committee came into being during 1965. During 1966-1990, the town expended rapidly because of Construction of Bridge over the Ravi. Before the independence of Pakistan the city was a food supply for villages and nearby areas. The old name of the city was Tandla Mandi (Tandla Market).
Tandlianwala stands in the rolling flat plains of northeast Punjab, between longitude 73°13 East, latitude 30°03 North, with an elevation of 183 metres (600 ft) above sea level. The proper city covers an area of approximately 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi), while the tehsil covers more than 1,280 square kilometres (490 sq mi). The Ravi river flows about 9 km in the east which is the main source of irrigation meeting the requirements of 90% of cultivated land.
There are no natural boundaries between Tandlianwala and adjoining tehsil & districts. The city is bound on the north by Faisalabad and, on the east by Okara, on the south by Sahiwal and Toba Tek Singh and on the west by Samundri.
The Tehsil of Tandlianwala is part of the alluvial plains between the Himalayan foothills and the central core of the Indian subcontinent. The alluvial deposits are typically over a thousand feet thick. The scalloped interfluves are believed to have been formed during the and feature flat-topped river terraces. These were later identified as old and young floodplains of the River Ravi on the Kamalia and Chenab Plains. The old floodplains consist of Holocene deposits from the River Ravi. There is also a small river passing through the center of the city.
