Koath is located at 25°19′N 84°16′E / 25.32°N 84.27°E / 25.32; 84.27.^[1] It has an average elevation of 73 metres (239 feet).

One one the main challenges this "big" village faces is the virtual isolation from big cities. Koath lies away from the main highways and people have to resort to travel by rickshaws or horse-carts when they land in Babhanawal adda. The main bridge linking Koath to Babhanawal Adda was broken for decades, albeit it is functional ineffectively now-a-days.
