Merging Nishada Kingdom and Nishadha kingdom is not appropriate.

Close analysis of Mahabharata reveals that Nishadha Kingdom and Nishada Kingdom were two distinct kingdoms. Nishadha seems to be an older kingdom, with Nala as its prominent ruler. Nishada on the other hand were a hamlet of Nishada tribe of people. There were many Nishada hamlets or kingdoms spread all over India, notable of them being the kingdom of Ekalavya close to Dwaraka and situated in the southern Rajasthan. Apart from this there was a Nishada hamlet to the south of Kosala, ruled by a Nishada named Guha (as per epic Ramayana), who ruled from a town named Sringivera. Mahabharata mentions several such Nishada kingdoms close to Kalainga in Orissa, in Madhya Pradesh and in South India.

Nishadha kingdom of Nala, on the other hand is though to be Gwalior district of Madhya Pradesh, where an ancient route diverges from Uttarapatha (which connects it to Kosala) to the southern countries like Vidarbha
