The Kalgoni River is a stream located in the Bhalessa region of the Doda district in Jammu and Kashmir. It is a significant tributary of the Kalnai River, which is itself a major tributary of the Chenab River.
The Kalgoni River originates from the mountain ranges of Chamba, near the Sach Peak. It is one of the principal water bodies in the Bhalessa region, comprising the twin valleys of Bonjwah and Bhalessa. The river flows through diverse terrain, carving its way through gorges and rocky stretches, enhancing the natural beauty of the area.[1] [2]
The Kalgoni River meets with another rivulet called Jai Nallah which flows from Jai Valley. Subsequently, the Kalgoni River combines with the Kalnai River at Donadi, becoming part of the extensive river network of the Chenab River.[3]
The Kalgoni River holds both ecological and cultural significance in the Bhalessa region. It serves as a vital water source for the local communities, supporting agricultural and domestic needs.[4] [5]
The river's surroundings are known for trout fish culture, attracting tourists and fishing enthusiasts to the area.[4] Its enchanting vistas and serene landscapes make it a popular destination for nature lovers and travelers exploring the region.[6]
