Ravi River

The Ravi originates near the Rotang pass in the Kangra Himalayas and follows a north-westerly course. It turns to the south-west, near Dalhousie, and then cuts a gorge in the Dhaola Dhar range entering the Punjab plain near Madhopur. It is one of the five rivers which gives Punjab its name of punj/پنج (five) ab/ آب (rivers). Ravi was known as Parushni or Iravati to Indians in Vedic times and Hydraotes to Greeks. It flows as a part of the Indo-Pakistan border for some distance before entering Pakistan and joining the Chenab river. The total length of the river is about 720 km. The waters of the Ravi river are allocated to India under Indus water treaty between India and Pakistan.
