River Bunhar near Pind Sawika

Naalah Bunhar (Urdu: نالہ بنہاں, also "Bunhā torrent") is a river in Pakistan.[1] It begins in Saral, Chakwal District in Punjab province, and then enters Jhelum District and flows into the River Jhelum near Darapur.[2][3] It runs south of Tilla Jogian and the Salt Range, where, with rainfall, its width reportedly "spreads over a mile of country".[3] It forms the only ravine in the wide fertile plateau of Jhelum Tehsil that drains into the Jhelum River; all others drain into the Soan River.[4] Many waterfalls from Tilla Jogian also fall into the Bunhar. Near Pind Sawika and Wagh villages, this river takes the form of a desert.
