Tosham is a town and a Gram Panchayat on the foot of Tosham Hill range in Bhiwani district in the Indian state of Haryana. It has been awarded the title of "Adarsh Village". It is situated in the foothill of Tosham hill range of Aravali Mountain Range. The hill has several historic places, such as forts, carvings, paintings, temples, sacred ponds, dating as far back 1800 years. It is a rural area.
The mountain is an important biodiversity area within the "western-southern Haryana" spur of the Northern Aravalli leopard wildlife corridor, but is threatened due to the polluting and ecologically destructive unsustainable mining activities.
