It lies between the Bhangi Khel Salt Range in the west and the River Indus in the east. Kamar Mushani is famous for its trade and minerals. Pakistan no. 1 Silica (Silicon) is extracted in Kamar Mushani and is supplied all over the country.

The name of village means in local language as the (kamar)means bank of river because Mushani settled at Bank of Indus River. Mushan (Musa Khan) common pashtun name (Chief of tribe). But there is difference in this theory because according to most of kamri(who live in kammar mushani) that kammar is the word of Hindko langueg that means The Bank Of River and the founder of kammar Mushani was the Mushan Khan a pashtoon tribe chief therefore the recent name of kammar mushani came in creation because of this the meaning of kammar mushani is a bank of river property of Mushan. Kamar Mushani is far from the Bank of River of mainly hilly area so the word Kamar which is commonly used for hill is Pashtu language seems more correct
